I just use symbolic links. unpack the tar ball to say /usr/src/Slimserver_6.x.x ln -s /usr/src/Slimserver_6.x.x /usr/local/slimserver Just make sure your startup script points to /usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl (for this example). this allows you to keep a few versions of Slim around with thier origional names and dates incase an upgrade goes bad and your start up scripts won't need to be changed. You will probably also want to use command line options in the startup script to specify cashe dir, preferences, log file ect.. I put all of this in the slimserever users home directory.
Matt I am running 6.0.2 on Linux. How do I install 6.1.1? Do I simply unzip the tar into the existing Slim Server directory overwriting whats there or should I delete the contents first? Do I need to update Perl as well?
