Success!
Well it got to the end of the installer... I'll continue testing later..
Is there any quick way to migrate configs/templates from my current existing 4.11?
This is much easier than before, thanks. How will updates be handled? Similar scripts?

Ian,
Don't tell me, it was a Ubuntu 16 box, right?
I've just put a new copy of the installer on the website.
Please can you:
rm -rf ~root/installZendTo*
Download the new installer.
Unpack it and run it as before.
But when it asks you about each stage, just say "n" to the first 6 stages, until you say "y" to the bit about installing ZendTo itself. Do that, and the 8th stage (SELinux) which you haven't done yet. As you're not going to be using SELinux (even the Ubuntu wiki admits it's not maintained for Ubuntu at all), that stage won't actually do anything.
If you want to just run stage 7 on its own, without having to answer "n"
to anything else, you can just run the "7-zendto.sh" script in the Ubuntu sub-directory directly. Provided you run it from *somewhere* within the installer's tree, it should find everything it needs.
Hopefully that will fix it!
Cheers,
Jules.
