+General update instructions
+---------------------------
+
+Usually an update of the Kolab 2 server works as described here.  In
+some cases you will need to deviate from these instructions a bit.  All
+such cases are documented below, so read the release specific update
+instructions for all releases newer than the one you already have before
+you start the update.
+
+The installation of the new packages works just as for the initial
+installation.  Download the files as described above and run
+
+# ./obmtool kolab
+
+obmtool will usually automatically determine which packages need to be
+built.  Then regenerate the configuration with

+# /kolab/sbin/kolabconf

+You may want to check the permissions of your files in /kolab/etc/kolab/
+after installing or upgrading, as there have been problems with this in
+the past.  Especially kolab.conf and copies shall only be readable to
+the owner (usually "kolab").  The installation and configuration scripts
+should make sure that the permissions are correct but there's a chance
+that the permissions can still go wrong, especially if you upgrade from
+pre Beta 1 releases.
