 1. Initially, 2.73 had been installed at usr/local/gsdl.  In retrospect it would have been better to have created a usr/local/greenstone/2.73, then let the installation create its gsdl folder there. It's just neater, that's all, and ensures the preservation of whatever has been customised.  So this time I created usr/local/greenstone/2.80 (you could also just create usr/local/2.80, up to you) and having downloaded and unpacked the gsdl-2.80-unix file, then began the installation process. For anyone relatively new to working with Linux, it's worth noting that you find the Install script (Install.sh) in the Unix folder, and that you need to change its permission to make it executable, usually simply done by right clicking it and then checking the 'execute' spot under properties-permissions. Then you simply run ./Install.sh from that Unix folder and it gets on with the job! 1.

-2. The installation process asks question<tabbox Greenstone3> +2. The installation process asks questions throughout. Most of them have obvious answers. It's a good idea to have checked one's Apache setup earlier in order to have the right responses to questions relevant to that. Clearly, one obvious change given the creation of the usr/local/greenstone folder above was that Apache would now have to point to a different location; the /gsdl alias needs altering. I will not deal with the Apache changes here - that can be followed separately from existing documentation, just by making
