(RADIATOR) Clarification On Installing V.2.18.1 To V.2.18

[Ingvar Berg (EIP)]

An additional thing that I have found useful is to put the raddb directory with config files directly below the ditribution directory. Like
F:\Radiator\Radiator-2.18\raddb.
This way, you can revert to the old state, including whatever config was required then.

Hello Carlos -

I have discussed this issue several times on the mailing list 
(www.starport.net/~radiator). My suggestion is always to create a new 
directory for every version of Radiator.

In your situation I would do this:

	create a top-level directory for Radiator

	mkdir F:\Radiator
	
	cd to that directory

	cd F:\Radiator

	download the distributions to this directory 

	unzip each distribution in this directory

This way you will keep the versions seperate and you can change from one to 
another much more easily.

	cd F:\Radiator\Radiator-2.18

	cd F:\Radiator\Radiator-2.18.1

	etc..
