Hello! Some long time ago I was asking this question (from a different point of view), but didn't find a clear answer. If one wants to do a binary upgrade of the system remotely, without physical access to the computer, the only option to do that via sysinstall is to download ../src/release/sysinstall, compile it and then use it. (Since one cannot insert a floppy/CD/ .. remotely) Yes, I know, it is dangerous, etc. etc., but many people do that anyway, such is real life... (Dear purists, no reason to worry, I know it) It would be nice to have the sysinstall with the -RELEASE, say in tools. So, is there any reason besides protecting some people from harming themselves accidentally ? Thanks, Igor PS. Sorry if I missed something, and it changed in the recent releases.
