Upgrading Questions
Since the install.dat file is really just a tar file of all the individual files that get installed, is it possible to edit the install.dat file directly with all my changes before running the install.cgi script? It would probably save a bit of downtime in upgrading. Or does the install script edit these files that might cause a problem for me?

Also, is the changelog file up to date... the most recent change date in the copy I downloaded on 2/3/2002 is 11/1/2001? And I didn't see any reference to database changes, so I was wondering if there haven't been any in a while or are they just not listed here?

Almost forgot, I haven't run the isntall yet since I switched the database to a separate physical box, but will having the scripts on one server and the database on another create any problems in running the upgrade?

And if I choose to skip on the templates, does it only skip the templates in data/templates but still update the templates in admin/mysqlman/templates and admin/templates or does it skip all of those too?
