Systemimager.org allows you to upgrade/downgrade a system completely
remotelly.
I used this to attempt a redhat 9 upgrade 3 times, reverting after each
upgrade to retry it.
It uses rsync so recoveries are quick.
I also use it to setup lab computers completelly automatically.
Put in the cd and it grabs the correct image and it configures everything
on the system.
Recovering from a failed filter upgrade, reverting back should take
approximately 30 seconds to 2 minutes to restore back to it's old state.
