RecommendationAs always, we strongly recommend to keep a backup of the current installation. This is a recommended practice and it's an important step on any software installation or upgrade. |
The installer saves a log of all actions taken, files copied etc. in the installation directory as install.log
, ie. normally it'll be in /usr/local/omk/install.log
. Subsequent upgrades or installations of other Opmantek products will add to that logfile, so you may very well want to remove or clear the install.log file before upgrading or adding extra software.
