• Re: Am I really this stupid? What the heck do I upgrade with this zip file?

  Andrew, I think this is the good news/bad news scenario with Open Source projects. All the time is donated and most of the help has day jobs to support their bad habits of eating, shelter, etc. ;) I've been pondering this problem for a few days. Based on the useful input from Cathal and looking at the other threads I've come to the following conclusion: I think the core requirements for both install and upgrade processes need to be documented. This has been promised for quite some time (all in good
