The answer:
Semi-offline update is possible.

Online update:
Execute "zk update":
Code:

This will install the latest stable version of 4MLinux.
Do you wish to start the installation right now (y/n)?: y

Downloading info file:
Connecting to 4mlinux.com (104.28.8.32:80)
4MLinux-update      100% |*******************************|    55  0:00:00 ETA

The latest stable version is:
4MLinux-25.0-32bit.iso
Do you wish to continue (y/n)?: y

Downloading 4MLinux:
Connecting to dl.4mlinux.com (137.74.197.113:80)
4MLinux-25.0-32bit.i  2% |                              | 32616k  0:19:30 ETA

Semi-offline update:
Put the copy of the ISO image in the /root directory. Now run the "zk update" command. 4MLinux will now download only a very small info file (the ISO image in the /root directory will be used to update your system).

PS.
Theoretically speaking, you can also try to preform regular installation (using live CD/USB) without formatting the target partition.
