 * I have a 1.2 install that is what I am using at the moment.
 * In another directory, I am working on 1.5 and tweaking the layout and adding 
   plugins etc…
 * Will I be able later when I am happy to just dwld my 1.5 and upload it to my 
   1.2 directory thus overwriting all of my 1.2 files but having applied the 1.5
   plugins and layout changes.
 * I realize that any plugin that needs entries in the SQL table won’t work but 
   I am hoping that some of my current plugins such as amazon Media manager, etc
   will be fine. I am not adding plugins to the 1.5 driectory that require me to
   add additonal SQL tables.
 * Thanks!

 * It should work, just follow the upgrade instructions.

 * It should do…… but I’d keep a couple of backups just to be sure and take it carefully
