Does anyone have a working strategy for having multiple slimserver
installations on the same linux box? I don't mean multiple *running*
servers; I have a working server and now I think it is time to bring
the installation up to date.

I want to have 6.5.2 in a parallel setup and switch quickly between the
working server and the new target server.

I'm thinking that I need two versions of /etc/sysconfig/slimserver; the
current contents are: 

----
# Edit this to suit your setup
SLIMSERVER_START="yes"
SLIMSERVER_USER="slimserver"
SLIMSERVER_GROUP="slimserver"
SLIMSERVER_HOME="/usr/local/slimserver"
SLIMSERVER_CFG="/etc/slimserver.conf"
SLIMSERVER_LOG="/var/log/slimserver.log"
SLIMSERVER_CACHEDIR="/var/cache/slimserver"
SLIMSERVER_ARGS="--daemon --prefsfile=$SLIMSERVER_CFG
--logfile=$SLIMSERVER_LOG --cachedir=$SLIMSERVER_CACHEDIR"
----

These variables are referred to within /etc/init.d/slimserver, so I'm
hoping the slimserver binaries and scripts are fully transparent to the
SLIMSERVER variables. ie:

----
...
cd $SLIMSERVER_HOME
startproc -e -u $SLIMSERVER_USER -g $SLIMSERVER_GROUP $SLIMSERVER_BIN
$SLIMSERVER_ARGS
...
----

I assume that I will have to use the source downloads rather than the
rpms?

Any advice or experiences appreciated.
