RE: MORE HELP NEEDED PLEASE :)

There used to be with having more than one version in the tree when
creating the database, but as of 1.0.2 thats not a problem. If you
remember where you saw that, email it to me, I'd like to fix the
documentation.

I am writting up a detailed howto for installing current full of errors and troubleshooting that i did to fix the problem, i hope this can help other people cause the documentation for this project is a bit vague, ill have it done by monday and send off a link to the mailing list......btw this is for my work (the doc) so that other people at my job can setup current servers.  So far i just have RH7.2 working, but im going to get RH 6.2 for alpha and i386 up and RH7.1 for Alpha, i scaned some docs and is there a problem with current supporting multiple versions on one arch?  Im just asking cause i recall seeing this somewhere in my many many readings ;) anyways thanks people for the help!

Can someone point me to the right area. Thanks in advance
