Hi, I'm running SLES10 SP2 and upgrading from RT 3.4.6 / RTFM 2.1.0 (I think) 
to the latest versions.

Successes: 
1. I installed RT 3.8.4 on a new server, backed up my old database and copied 
it over. Upgraded the database and got my 3.8.4 install working just fine.
2. Installed RT::Authen::ExternalAuth and got that connecting to my LDAP server.

Failure with RTFM:
1. After the successes above, I installed RTFM according to the README and 
UPGRADING.mysql docs, but I think I made a mistake. There is no left-hand nav 
entry for RTFM the way there used to be. RT still works fine, as far as I can 
tell.
- unpacked the tarball, cd'd to the RTFM directory, ran "perl Makefile.PL", 
make, then make install. 
- the UPGRADING.mysql doc says "3) Apply changes described in the seven step, 
but only up to version 3.8.0." - ok, this isn't really correct because there's 
no such step 7 in RTFM README. So I skipped it, thinking I might have already 
accomplished this when I upgraded the database to RT 3.8.4?? The instruction 
looks a lot like the RT3.8.4/README file?
- ran step 4,5,6 in UPGRADING.mysql to upgrade the schema in the database.
- went back to RTFM-2.4.2/README and did steps 6-8.  I don't see any RTFM link 
in the interface, as noted.

How can I tell what version of RTFM was running on my old server? Any ideas 
about how to proceed? 

Thanks, Mike
