My minibox is a lowly 486sx-16 or -33 with only 5MB RAM so building
the OS on it is out of the question. It's also at a lights-out ISP
site so getting to it physically is difficult.

Any suggestions on how to do this when the minibox is a 28.8 POTS line
away? Would the NFS be reliable enough?

It's currently at 2.2.1-RELEASE and I'd like to bring it up to 2.2-STABLE.

Thanks.
