As an inexperienced and new (and very happy) user of FUDForum, I have been nervous to see that in just under three months, my 2.6.1 release has been moved toward obsolesence by not just 2.6.2, but also by 2.6.3, and now 2.6.4. Since my 2.6.1 seems to be running along without incident, I have been reluctant to apply the updates. Now that I am feeling "way behind" my question is: Do I have to do all three of the updates in succession, or is it set up so that I can update directly from 2.6.1 to the 2.6.4 version by running just the 2.6.4 update script? Part of my anxiety is that I have never run an update script, so I don't have a sense for how dangerous it is to my existing installation. Does the update script operate in such a way that it does not destroy the old installation if it fails to complete? Finally, is there a concise set of instructions as to how to do the update somewhere?
