Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to ask for any recommendations for upgrading a small
number of remote 2.2.x terminal servers to 4.x-STABLE ?

The options seem to be

A preserving the hardware

1 ask a local clerk to drive sysinstall
2 run sysinstall remotely 
3 local clerk reboots a custom boot floppy (that does everything)
4 pay them a visit.
5 upgrade from source (they have 500 MB IDEs. WAN links are 64kbps) or
make installworld from NFS

Or Replacing the hardware

send replacments and pay someone to hook up the cables (awfully
tempting to ascend to the awesome power of 133/166 MHz)

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.
