CDs are simple and fairly reliable (more so now that I figured out

it is time to upgrade and there are no disks. Upgrading is hazardous
enough without having to drag computers around, change their
addresses, do an install that I can't find any real instructions for
and drag my desktop downstairs.
I think maybe I'll just change my mail server computer to ubuntu
server. They just upgrade from the net. No disks.
Which of course you can do with Fedora. Just boot from the resuce CD
and select the option to install/update. Select an HTTP or FTP update
and point it to your closest mirror.
I wouldn't do this sort of update personally as I'd be concerned about
my network connection breaking part way through (especially with the
pounding the mirrors are getting at the moment), but you can do it.
Frankly I get more nervous about online updates with Ubuntu (which I
also run) than updating any of my Fedora machines.
For your situation if you can't set up an nfs server I'd probably copy
the DVD iso onto each machine and do a hard disk install.
