The early ones were a bit fun but doable. ftp.linux.org.uk started with a
late Red Hat (RH9 I think) and has done the same but live updated each
time. It took some handholding and in one case a minor mad panic and
loopback mounting the iso on the ftp area to get a static rpm that worked
8)

Not what I'd recommend in general. Live updating now is a bit easier,
although I avoid preupgrade as it seems to do more harm than good.
