Hi,
Whatever method you use, doing a full upgrade using the installer has a
very high chance of failing in *some* way, so if you don't have
low-level remote control facilities you'd better be prepared to come
over anyway.
If you can't do that, you may be better served by upgrading the specific
RPM packages you need, though it's hard for some components due to a
dense dependency network.
By the way, here's a useful trick when remoting upgrading kernels.
1. Install the new kernel, but keep the old one as the default.
2. Use "lilo -D newkernel" to make the new kernel the temporary
default (this affects only the next reboot).
3. Reboot.
4. Update lilo.conf to make the new kernel the default.
The point is that if step 3 fails and the machine gets stuck, you can
ask someone on-site to do reboot and then you're back in game using the
old kernel.
