Hello All, We have some machines running CentOS 4 Update 4 (4.4). We want to update these boxes to the stock CentOS 4 Update 8 (4.8). We have the 4.8 iso images. Is it possible to use up2date and have it use the 4.8 mounted iso images on a remote (install) server as the repository? The ISO's are accessible through http. These servers are remote with no CD/DVD option to upgrade
The best way I can think of is to create a yum repository with the RPMs from the 4.8 image on the source server then create yum.repo file on the destination files and then do a yum update.
There are lots of instructions online how to do it, do a search for "centos create yum repo iso" or something similar and you will get lots of hits.
