Excellent! That tip to uninstall and look at the Tools web interface was the push I needed. Everything goes very quickly and smoothly if a) one has the tar file ready in the public directory to browse to, and b) one uses the copy of the prefs file that the upgrade process helpfully saves.
I looked on the Tools page and, as you say, the web interface documents that the "normal" action one should take when upgrading is to uninstall slimserver so as to trigger the possibility to install a version (newer) of one's choice. This information is present in the running text on the interface, part way down the page: "Uninstalling the SlimServer tar ball will trigger the tar ball installation routine". I can only report that it was over-subtle in its implications and placement :) I'm happy to be completely up to date, and I'd like to recommend a paragraph somewhere in the readme about this. -- SteveC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SteveC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=665 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38059 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
