DogTags,

To install LINKS SQL, simply specify a different directory/folder in your server.

with regards to your other questions:

1) No...it is a completely different system/application. You can "upgrade" your existing LINKS 2.0 Mods and code hacks as Plugins when you become accustomed to using the plugin system. I've not upgraded my LINKS SQL v.1.13 to LINKS SQL 2.0 for a variety of reasons, but from what I've observed in Plugin related posts, it is A LOT easier to install Mods in LINKS SQL 2.0 than LINKS SQL v.1.13. Basically, with the plugin system, you don't touch the "nervous system" (nuts and bolts) files of LINKS SQL versus with LINKS SQL v.1.13, to install Mods, you have to hack all the files, including the PM files. LINKS SQL v.2.0 is mostly web-based in terms of installing Mods.

2) Yes...there are built-in subs that will do this...this has been discussed before in category related threads in this forum and in the Links SQL Discussion forum.

Regards,
