"do-release-upgrade" is troublesome, but extracting ISO's, copying ISOLINUX stuff around, fiddling with grub configuration, setting up VNC listeners and then doing a point-and-click sort of upgrade thing is not troublesome? > If I wanted to produce a similar methodology for version upgrades, > where would someone suggest I start? I would honestly suggest no to start at all. I mean no offense, I'm just completely speechless that this is really what you want? How many machines do you have to do this to at a time? > The parts I like most of the above process are the "Start the install > process, and remote the screen to a VNC client listening elsewhere to > actually perform the upgrade." The part about upgrades *I* like is the part between where I type "do-release-upgrade" and the part where I get my prompt back. I usually spend that time making a cup of coffee and drinking it. -- Soren Hansen Ubuntu Server Team http://www.ubuntu.com/
