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

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Ingvar -

Has it warmed up a bit since I saw you in Stockholm?

Another approach (that I use) is to use symbolic links for both the Radiator 
release directory and the configuration file, so my start up scripts and so 
on do not have to change.

regards

Hugh
