Hi Simon,

Charles is looking for info on how to upgrade remote systems, which he
does not have physical access
to. The document you reference does not have that info.

If you have a remote (serial) console set up, then that document works just
fine. If you don't have that, then I'm not sure that upgrade is possible[1] -
sshd was one of the first daemons to fail to start when I did my upgrade so
you'd be hard pressed to continue after the first reboot.

[1] well, haven't tried it, but you'd probably have to scp an sshd compiled on
5.x and I'm not sure what else before booting the 5.x kernel.
