Another solution would be to download and burn the boot.iso and download the 4 other iso's to one of your machines. Put the iso's in an nfs share or a http or ftp folder. Boot each machine from the boot iso and type "linux text" at the install prompt. This will give you the option of installing over the network. This way you only download from the internet once and you can install them via the local network which will be much quicker. Personally, I would perform a fresh install instead of an upgrade. There were a few issues that came up with the change to the new kernel and x server. If your /home directory is on a separate partition you can keep all your settings from your previous installation. Just don't format the partition and you can add the user(s) account(s) after installation. Good luck! Wayne Steenburg
