"You can make a 'diff' between your modified version and the genuine mediawiki version you installed before any modification. "
What do you mean by make a 'diff'? (sorry this is all new to me)
thanks

I found this fabulous little web site the other day where you can read all about diff and deduce the meaning of the response.

I think the respondent implied you could produce a file containing all the differences you'd introduced, then see how this would conflict with changes in the new version of the software.

if you can SSH into the server, copy a standard install OF THE VERSION YOU STARTED WITH to another directory on your server. If you have your current modified wiki software in /modifiedwiki/ and put the standard install OF the SAME version as your modified wiki is in / stanwiki/, then run this command: diff -y -r /modifiedwiki/ /stanwiki/ Then you should be happy (-: On May 12, 2006, at 9:51 AM, a@kid wrote:
