If you have another machine with a web server, and a USB memory stick:
On the machine with the web server loop mount the iso so that you can browse
the contents from a web browser.
Browse to the image directory and get the diskboot image onto the USB stick.
Use the USB stick to boot the machine you want to upgrade, choose http for the
update source and enter the url of your web server.
Cheers,
Remco
