No, it doesn't have to be on another server. It could be on the system you're trying to upgrade, which is what I documented and you verified as working for you. > FTP/HTTP/NFS, etc..

"...put the CD in any FTP server..." That sounds like "another system" to me. In any case, the same could be done with either SLES9 or SLES10. One really cool thing about SLES10 is that you can stuff the DVD, or CD1 into an Intel box, boot from it, configure the network, and you have an instant install server. Reboot the box back to whatever it was before when you're done, and no changes will have been made to the hard drive. Sweet. > That's all I am saying.

Yes, the details are a little different (and in some ways better, given the ugly layout requirements of SLES9), but the broad picture hasn't really changed.
