Comment (by pulkomandy):
No, it can't easily be done this way. The package manager is not designed
to oerate on a system that's not being booted.
And, "all other operating systems" is not true either. This is typically
not the case for Linux distros, and even for Windows the process does not
go this way: you will usually download an updater that will guide you
through the update (it may ask you to insert an USB disk, make that
bootable, and then reboot on it to perform the update in some cases). No
one ships CDs for updates anymore.
