Simple. You have a single /usr shared-mounted for several instances and a a / for each machine. Then you run the upgrade in one of those images and do the following: 1 - use a script to extract files not in /usr in that packages and install it in each root mount 2 - use a script to change the dpkg database in each root mount telling that the packages were unpacked but not configured. 3 - run dpkg --configure -a in each root mount to get the maint scripts to be run... 4 - profit daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
