Hi all,

Can we install 2.50 over the top of previous versions or do we have to uninstall and then install the newer version?


Thanks

> This is a major release that corresponds to the UNESCO Greenstone v2.50
> CD-ROM. It features many improvements to the core Greenstone software,

> processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a

>
> - Unix and Windows installers
> - Greenstone interface
> - Greenstone setup scripts
> - Greenstone README file
> - Greenstone Perl module strings

> - GLI help text

> This release also includes a very large number of improvements to the
> Librarian Interface tool. The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI) is an
> easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building functionality.
> It provides a graphical, point-and-click interface that allows you to
> gather files for your digital library collection, assign metadata to
> them, and then design, customize and build your collection. The
> Librarian Interface comes as standard in all distributions (uncompiled
> in the source distribution, compiled in all the others). It is installed
> in a subdirectory of your Greenstone installation called "gli", and
> requires a recent version of Java to run (you will be told if you don't
> have this, and it is a free download).

> If you haven't already tried the Librarian Interface, now is a great

> Menu. On other systems, the Librarian Interface can be run by executing
