Ok, sorry, you're right! 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?
