Thanks George, 
 
Pls refer to my query on your answer (underline in brown colour)
 
If I got nessus 1.2 and now want to upgrade to 2.0, do I download the
>    installer script and start from scratch? 
 
Yes.
Can I upgrade the nessus via CVS instead of using the installer-script or
untar and compile the 4 tar balls? Are there any security risks with using
CVS?
 
There is also an automatic script (found under the nessus archives) which
will un-install and install the nessus using CVS method. Will either of
these work well?

It won't hurt to uninstall it, but you'll be prompted to remove the
previous version when configuring nessus-libraries.
