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?
