Ok, since you need a remote upgrade then apt/yum/up2date is needed. For apt you basically need to create a local repository of the RPMS. Suppose you have the iso's mounted in /mnt/yarrow1, /mnt/yarrow2 and /mnt/yarrow3, I'd probably do it somewhat like this (watch out for typos and thinkos, I wrote this from top of my head so not tested.. ): mkdir -p /var/tmp/fedora/RPMS.core cd /var/tmp/fedora/RPMS.core ln -s /mnt/yarrow1/Fedora/RPMS/* . ln -s /mnt/yarrow2/Fedora/RPMS/* . ln -s /mnt/yarrow3/Fedora/RPMS/* . genbasedir --bloat /var/tmp/fedora
The add that to your sources.list: "file://var/tmp fedora core" Check that it works (no errors in output) by running "apt-get update" and then you should be ready to roll: apt-get install kernel (choose suitable one from the output) apt-get dist-upgrade
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Panu. ;-p
With kind regards,
Didier.
