dear gurus

i install 1 machine centos 5.3 32 bits

now i dont want to connect internet and upgrade the remote site has no internet. and no dvd

when i build machine it was via NFS way, i create 1 boot.iso then install via nfs centos 5.3

now i wish to upgrade to centos 5.5, where i dont have dvd feature. so say i have dvd manualy copy to machine or nfs share

how it is possible over network upgrade centos 5.5 manually, or via boot.iso or what r the best way other then internet
yum update i dont want to use, since i cant use no internet

regards

with no internet and no dvd ??? have fun

there are 5 cd's i think for 5.5


you can also put the full dvd onto a thumb drive ( if you have a usb2 port)

Yeah you can use dvd contents somewhere and use it. But better way would have been to attach a dvd drive, and use it as a repository in yum. You could have then used yum to update the system.

i ask question not for fun sir, dont mind plz

i am true student, i never experience before for this. i try to do but never sucess

practicall give me some example how can we achive this task,

do you mean keep dvd inside the machine and boot machine login as root and yum update...

but yum update configuration or setting how it will know to read a say /dvd/centos/dvd/rpm etc

regards

How can you even think of booting from a dvd will do a yum update? Start off your CentOS. Login using root. Put your latest CentOS5.5 dvd and then add this dvd as repository source in yum configuration and then do a yum update.

this machine run as cd rom only and no dvd what why i ask question...

so guide me either how we can upgrade it. what i can do out of dvd i can take boot.iso file and burn a cdrom and boot it

then it need source to upgrade say local disk , ftp, nfs

give me 1 example of local disk, or nfs if the complete dvd copy over nfs or localdisk of same machine where we are upgrading

i hope i clarify my question more

If you got no dvd drive then you will need all the disks for the version. Are there 5 of them or 4? You can add your cd drive as a repository source. But I do not know if that will work as there are multiple medias. What you can do is copy all the contents of the cds into a remote machine and then google on how to create a local repository and use the contents on remote machine to update.
