I have a bunch of machines I would like to upgrade, and I was hoping to
just run an upgrade on them, booting from the DVD, selecting "upgrade"

screen or so forward and am told that an active network connection is
*required* for the upgrade. What is the secret to getting an upgrade
from media? Why would it even suggest using a network when the data is
present on a nice new DVD?
This is somewhat of a show stopper, if we have to backup, reinstall, and
restore and reconfigure it will take much longer. I have done cold
installs from DVD without network, so that's not an issue, but if the
upgrade can't be done there's a fair chance they will not be upgraded,
at least with Fedora.
At another office someone let it actually use a network connection, and
it's not using the DVD at all, zero, not happening. I assume we're doing
something wrong.
*PING!!* - doesn't anyone else ever upgrade machines with a slow network
connection?
