Thanks Alex,

You've answered the last part of my question ;) - all good stuff and I'll
include it all in the walk through I write up, so hopefully you'll be able
to guide me through the first part.

Following the installation requirements for SSH installation (
http://wiki.habariproject.org/en/Installation#SVN_Checkout), my issue here
is that I'll navigate to a directory with an existing installation. Should I
delete this (but keeping my user file) and then checkout from SVN? Do I then
move my theme and images etc over manually? Will that cause any issues when
upgrading?

The question then is afterwards, how do I check in the plugins directly from
the habari extra repository (I remember being able to do this as well to get
the latest plugins)?

Thanks for the help Alex,
