Excellent! That tip to uninstall and look at the Tools web interface was
the push I needed. Everything goes very quickly and smoothly if a) one
has the tar file ready in the public directory to browse to, and b) one
uses the copy of the prefs file that the upgrade process helpfully
saves.

I looked on the Tools page and, as you say, the web interface documents
that the "normal" action one should take when upgrading is to uninstall
slimserver so as to trigger the possibility to install a version
(newer) of one's choice. This information is present in the running
text on the interface, part way down the page:

"Uninstalling the SlimServer tar ball will trigger the tar ball
installation routine".

I can only report that it was over-subtle in its implications and
placement :) I'm happy to be completely up to date, and I'd like to
recommend a paragraph somewhere in the readme about this.
