You can do this by downloading the 0.8.5 archive file and then running the minimserver/bin/update Linux command from your 0.8.4 installation. See this section for details.

Thanks for the quick response, Simon. Well, the update failed, but only after uninstalling the old version. I seem to remember, from when I was originally installing, that Debian doesn't like tar files. Anyway I will do a fresh install from my notes of the original install. I am wondering if there is a config file hiding somewhere in the Linux hierarchy which contains all the settings which I have entered previously and which I can copy for replacing after the fresh install, which I imagine will re-initialise settings?
