Hi Tony,

when roughly flying over the manual I noticed the following:

--------------------------------------
3. Go into the unpacked ispman-1.1 direcory and do a cvs update. This
applies the latest bug fixes and patches.

cd ispman-1.1
apt-get install cvs
cvs -z3 update -dP
--------------------------------------
There is a high chance to make your ispman installation unusable by
doing this ;)
Since you are refering explicitly to version 1.1 you should use the
"rel_1_1-bugfix" branch to only catch the bugfixes and not the untested
development changes.
So better add an "-r rel_1_1-bugfixes" to the last line (This will
adjust with new releases of course).

--------------------------------------
4. Configure and make ISPMan.

./configure
make
--------------------------------------
A notice for the "--prefix" option would be nice. Not everyone wants to
install to /opt/ispman.


--------------------------------------
7. For an existing installation, don't initialize LDAP, just copy the
latest schema files over. 

cp /opt/ispman-someversion/tmp/conf/schema/* /etc/ldap/schema/ 
/etc/init.d/slapd restart 
--------------------------------------
That's problably not always sufficient. Please advice on use of
"scripts/ldifupdate" to upgrade/check the LDAP DIT.


Best regards, Joerg
