scripts and minimal binary packs to migrate from one distro to another
Assume you have a linux box with an outdated linux.
You would like to perform an upgrade, but you would like to avoid burning a CD or even making a bootable USB flash. The machine may even be somewhere where you do not even have physical access.
You already have a running kernel and a working network connection. Why not use them to get your new linux running directly?
Many distributions already provide a network install but getting the installer to run on your old linux proves tricky...
