I'm still a novice when it comes to Linux, so sorry if my question here is overly basic.
Several months ago in the interest of creating a low-cost Slimserver, I put together a box out of spare parts and installed SUSE Linux 10 on it (my very first experience with Linux--I'm normally a Windows user). I then installed the Slimserver 6.2 rpm, and made a few tweaks with the help of some here on the forum to get it to work. Among these tweaks was moving/tweaking the slimserver script to /etc/init.d, getting it to autostart, and installing ALAC. This was all done mostly through the use of information in this thread. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22572 In any case, this all went very well and everything works great right now. There are, however, some changes in the new 6.3 Slimserver update that I wouldn't mind having. So what I'd like to ask is what is the best way to upgrade, and how do I preserve my settings? I've downloaded the new .rpm, but am not sure what to do with it. For example, do I need to stop the server, completely remove the old software, then install the new .rpm? Or is there an easier way?
