Well, that is *the* most important thing (note lack of smiley).

We do say take a backup. I never do, but then it is a bit "do as I say, 
not as I do" around here, as you all know.

But most people have done the "overwrite the spider tree with 
CVSlatest.tgz" without (m)any problems - it seems to have worked for 
them. Provided the setup is standard, it should just work.
