P.S. I am upgrading from 2.0.16 to 2.0.18
Here is the start of the release notes where they say they added 'zetagenesis'.

XOOPS 2.0.18 release notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The XOOPS development team is pleased to announce the release of XOOPS 2.0.18.
This is mainly a security fix release. Some main changes include:
- Added sanitizing to integer parameters before being used in DB query to avoid SQL injection
- Added sanitizing to XOOPS form elements to avoid XSS
- Added theme "zetagenesis" as experimental step towards XOOPS 3.0 theme engine
- Improved permission check in comments
Read the full changelog for details.

Installing XOOPS
-----------------------------------
1. Copy the content of the htdocs/ folder where it can be accessed by your server
2. Ensure mainfile.php, cache, templates_c and uploads are writable by the webserver
3. Access the folder where you installed the htdocs/ files using your web browser to launch the installation wizard
These could be written with just a bit more detail to save people a world of frustration.
The best way would be to get the newbies to write out the steps that they went through and to clarify where they didn't understand and what cost them time.
For example, where is the step to check that all the necessary files have been uploaded to the server?
This step is CRUCIAL for saving time and frustration. I use a buggy uploader (Dreamweaver) which is notoriously slow and often fails to upload files. I have to upload in small sections.
So I have learned to always run the file check after uploading but before installing !!!

Upgrading from a previous version
-----------------------------------
Upgrading from XOOPS 2.0.17.1 (easy way)
1. Get the update package from the sourceforge file repository
2. Overwrite your existing files with the new ones
Hmmm. That seems extremely simple.
Here are the instructions for my particular upgrade.

Upgrading from XOOPS 2.0.14/2.0.15/2.0.16/2.0.17.* (using the full package)
1. Move the "upgrade" folder inside the "htdocs" folder (it's been kept out as it's not needed for full installs)
2. Delete htdocs/mainfile.php, htdocs/install/, htdocs/cache/, htdocs/extras/, htdocs/template_c/, htdocs/themes/ and htdocs/uploads/
3. Upload the content of the htdocs folder over your existing files
4. Access /upgrade/ with a browser, and follow the instructions
5. Follow the instructions to update your database
6. Delete the upgrade folder

Since I don't have an 'install' on the online version, the assumption is to delete all of the files in the download version.
But if I delete the 'themes' file, then I don't get the added 'zetagenesis' theme. If I delete the server 'themes' then I lose my existing theme. Ouch.
Deleting the new 'mainfile.php' keeps me from wiping out the customized setting in the existing mainfile.php. Okay.
But why do we need to delete 'cache' 'extra's 'template_c' and 'uploads'?
