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)?
