This page is aimed at a less experienced user and gives a step by step list of procedures to follow to help ensure maximum possibilities of success and convenience. I would appreciate it very much if some of y'all that are familiar with this procedure would take a few minutes and read through the page with an eye toward offering constructive criticism. I have now done two 'make upgrade's following these instructions and both have been successful. I cobbled together the information from various posts to the lists over the last year and my experience doing the two upgrades. Some of the recommendations may seem overly paranoid, but please keep the target audience in mind.
