Your problem definition leaves you very few options. The easiest
one would probably be to install from floppies, however you don't say
where you're upgrading from. The most thorough solution would be to do a
make release, burn it to a cd then do a CD install on the non-gcc
machines. Other than that I don't see any options.
Good luck,
Doug
