I recently wrote up the procedure for a friend, and wound up putting it
on the web--a few caveats--PAY ATTENTION when I say something isn't a
good idea but I do it anyway.  I wrote it for a friend having trouble,
and it's for a box on a home network, where, if everything broke, it's
not a big deal.=20

It also really deals with a standard upgrade as opposed to a version
upgrade.  For example, I'm running 4.7 prerelease on this box, and my
page deals mostly with just getting the latest sources and upgrading to
the newer version of 4.7.

Anyway, it might be of some help--again, don't do the things that I say
are a bad idea.  :)  I have to edit it sooner or later, but just put it
up recently, again, as I said, for a friend

 Giles: This one?
 Buffy: Amethyst.
 Giles: Used for?
 Buffy: Breath mints?
 Giles: Charm bags, money spells and for cleansing one's aura.
 Buffy: Okay, so how do you know if one's aura's dirty? Somebody
comes by with a finger and writes 'wash me' on it?
