Would it be possible to have a readme or some note to say if you have php,
tomcat, etc to do this in the config?? I am figuring to backup the php and
.so's as well as get a back up of the .conf's. I think Paul's point is that
it breaks even stock installs. I have had pretty good luck when doing the
cobalt updates, except for the last security update.
BTW-Cobalt installed our original php build. So if they did that, I update
and it breaks-who is responsible. I know the answer already.
