Hey JB,

If you feel confident enough, I've included a link to the instructions that
I've used a few times to upgrade Apache and install MySQL and PHP from
source tarballs. They were originally submitted by Paul Schreiber but still
stand as excellent guide to the process on a Raq2. What I've done is made
some updates to his instructions and posted them on my personal website
(running a fresh version of PHPNuke).

This is a multi-step process and not for the faint of heart. If you feel
it's way over your head, perhaps you should pay someone to do it for you.
But really, if you're patient and read all the install documentation with
each tarball you can manage to get everything going and learn a bunch about
your Raq in the process.

Oh, and of course this will void your warranty, run off with your wife,
yada, yada, yada....

Here's the link:

If anyone sees errors in the instructions, or has any other input, please
chime in. Mr. Werby??? ;)

HTH,
