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

[Ingvar Berg (EIP)]

Hello Hugh,

Nothing wrong with the wheather nowadays, +20 and sunny. Just about enough to keep the polar bears off the streets...

Then to the serious business - the reason for my copying the old raddb directory to the new Radiator distribution is just that I like to be able to go back to the untouched pre-ugrade situation. And as disk space comes free these days, it's a cheap luxury. No big  deal though, as long as you know what you're doing you can always roll back...

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
