By using an F14 DVD, of course. But I'm not sure we're meant to support
such a case, it would rather limit your ability to push updates, so this
may well be some kind of bug. Just wanted to point out that it's
certainly possible to do an update to the original frozen package set of
any release. (You can do it with a net install too by disabling the
updates repo, but I don't know why anyone _would_.)
