Move Manila installation to OS-X machine

	I just went through this recently and it went pretty smoothly, though 
there were a few bumps in the road.
	Years ago I made a folder at root level of my OS 7.6 (!) machine 
called simply "Frontier" so the path was easy to recreate on any new 
machine:  hardDriveName/Frontier/frontier.root. It's made my life much 
simpler when migrating to new machines.
	The bumps that I experienced were all solved by updating my roots, all 
of the "aps" roots, with the 
user.rootUpdates.servers.[rootName].lastUpdate set to Jan 1 of 2001. I 
don't know exactly how it all worked, but the aps roots from the OS 9 
installation, which had been enjoying nightly updates all along, seem 
to have been missing things that the OS X installation needed. All the 
annoyances (ie. none of the methods for creating new manila sites 
worked) went away after the root update process ran with the two years 
worth of material.

	Hope this helps
	Mark Stracke
