UPDATE


    
    (read Release Notes!)
    
    Updateing Big Sister is usually as simple as doing a
    
    	make
    
    with the same arguments you originally used. Files that
    are user-editable (config files, etc.) won't get overwritten,
    binaries will though.
    
    Some things you should be aware of:
    
    	- never install Big Sister for running as another
    	  user than your previous version (well, you'll
    	  have to do a 'chown' manually in this case)
    
    	- config files are usually compatible between releases. 
    	  Anyway if you'd like to use new features you'll 
    	  usually have to update your config files of 
    	  course. And of course config files for newer
    	  releases won't necessarily work with older
    	  releases.
    
    	- it's always a good idea to back up a working
    	  Big Sister installation before upgradeing
