These two sections probably need a little more explanation. The idea is
that a simple upgrade will proceed with the minimum number of steps, and
minimise the chance that someone will accidentally choose "install"
instead of "upgrade".

- If you have a previous version which has been shutdown cleanly prior
  to the upgrade, an upgrade should be auto-detected and you will just
  have to type "proceed" (in your language - English and French at this 
  stage)

- If you have a previous version which was not shutdown cleanly, you
  should receive a warning and you cannot upgrade directly. Power down,
  reboot your machine, shut it down cleanly and then start the upgrade
  again. "Proceed" will not go on to perform an upgrade.

  ***Please _read_ the screen carefully***

- If you have something which doesn't look like an SME Server or 4.1.2
  install, you will be presented with the install/mirror screen without
  an upgrade option
 
- If you really want to re-install a previous installation (i.e. don't
  want to upgrade), type "more options" instead of "proceed". You will
  get the install/mirror menu.

- Note: If you have a version prior to 4.1.2, please use the 
  workaround noted in the bug listed above to upgrade. PLEASE upgrade!

We hope you like the auto-upgrade detection. Please let us know via
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you find issues with it. 

We'd like to thank those who reported problems with trying to install
over the top of a previous RedHat 7.2 system - this has been fixed in
this Beta.
