hi folks,
my mandrake 9.2 box acts as my internet gateway/firewall/dns. i
recently upgraded it from mandrake 8.2 (actually i reinstalled the OS
rather than upgrade...and am happy that i did). i did the reinstall
via nfs because it was faster than trying to feed CDs to the machine,
and it only boots from a floppy anyway. worked like a charm.
the question: since this box is my internet gateway/firewall/dns, i am
wondering if it is possible to upgrade it to mandrake 10.1 via nfs....?
the reason i ask is this: when i did the aforementioned upgrade, i
used an old Macintosh as a internet gateway/firewall/dns replacement
until i could get the mandrake box back on-line. now that it is, i'm
not sure i understand how to do an upgrade via nfs when the box i wish
to upgrade is the dns for my home LAN...
zat make sense?
