I should have take a look at the pages, shame on= me. I don't know why in the first one is reported 2.26 as in fact it seems th= e procedure to upgrade to 2.12. Maybe some parts are dynamically (but wro= ngly) generated. Anyway the correct procedure is described in the 2nd link. Sorry again and good luck for the upgrade! Cheers Barbara P.S. Where did you find the 1st link?
