I installed what I think was 0.5.2 which was the newest stable release available when I brought it to Jimeta in late March of 09.
So the steps that I should take are: 1) backup some part of my server (how should I go about doing this?) Are we talking about making a copy of a particular directory here, or running a utility of some kind? 2) Enter this at the command prompt as root: yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing update Wait for download and installation to complete 3) Run: /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/domain_config lccnjimeta.org 4) Reboot 5) Configure my magically working Jabbery goodness Right? I'm most confused about step 1, how should I go about making a backup? And how stable is this .6 pre-release candidate, because I want this to be as stable as possible when I leave. Communication regarding technical issues is extremely difficult once I leave and if things are unstable, it's likely to grind half or all of this project to a halt.
