I was/am confused by the UPDATING instructions.
To make the switch:  (which switch, and only for V10, from which
to which?)
...
Before and after step 3, how specifically is the system set up?
...
Should any of this be done by persons using V9 immediately before
a v9 v10 upgrade?  And can another synopsis be written for those
before the upgrade, specifically to prepare for either case
after the upgrade? 
IOW more subsections and a longer explanation.  (I think maybe more
context before/after some of the steps in the procedure...)


Just a  suggestion.  I could probably figure it all out later...
