Precisely.  It would also use a LARGE quantity of bandwidth - 
bandwidth I have already expended on my "customised" Dapper on 
System1, when I dist-upgraded from Hoary->Breezy->Dapper and 
added further apps I wanted/needed, plus further app & kernel 
upgrades since.

I do have a Dapper install disk.  Maybe I could erase Hoary, 
install Dapper and ...  how could I upgrade that older version of 
Dapper on System 2 to the up-to-date one on System 1, using my 
network?
