===Upgrading===
 +
*What's the best way to upgrade from previous versions?
 +
- Backup
 +
- Install 7.0
 +
- Restore
 +
- Disable all custom templates:
 +
cd /etc/e-smith
 +
mv templates-custom templates-custom.old
 +
mkdir templates-custom
 +
mv templates-user-custom templates-user-custom.old
 +
mkdir templates-user-custom
 +
signal-event post-upgrade
 +
signal-event reboot
 +
 +
Or this:
 +
 +
- Remove all packages which are not on the 6.0/6.0.1/6.5 CD
 +
- Disable all custom templates:
 +
cd /etc/e-smith
 +
mv templates-custom templates-custom.old
 +
mkdir templates-custom
 +
mv templates-user-custom templates-user-custom.old
 +
mkdir templates-user-custom
 +
- Upgrade from CD
 +
- Carefully reinstall SME7 versions of the contribs, if they exist
