Step #1. Go to your local landfill or dumpster and aquire another PC. Any old junker will do. Install Linux on it. This will be your "test machine". (Seriously, you'll want at least a 200Mhz Pentium class box with about 128MB RAM and a 5GB drive.)
Use the test machine to try out stuff. A mistake on the test box will cause no harm. Never do development or test on a production server. Step #2 Assuming you've set up thre test system. Build the new 7.0 code just like you did the 5.0 code. the "make install" will overwrite the old stuff with the new stuff. If you have any problems post a _specific_ question to this list. --- Ariel Batista <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes folks it's me a Newbie. Remember I am also a non-Linux person > trying > to learn.
