Hello,

I've installed OpenScholar on my box but see from the /admin/reports/updates page that there are several Drupal updates that need to be installed. Updates such as

Drupal core 6.22
Recommended version: 6.24 (2012-Feb-01)

Bibliography Module 6.x-1.15
Recommended version: 6.x-1.17 (2012-Jan-23)

...etc, etc.

I have searched through the OpenScholar issues and I do not see any information there, or even on the O.S. website about how to EASILY and most USER-FRIEND(i)LY way to update all these Drupal modules.

Being a noob is hard enough as Drupal documentation seems sparse and frequently lacking for how beginning users can even begin thinking about doing things. Hence, if anyone has a clue about how I can update the O.S. / Drupal modules to latest, please let me know. Kind thanks in advance.

I can't recommend strongly enough for getting drush running on your system.

More on drush at: http://drupal.org/project/drush.

The manual process of backing up, replacing files and reviewing the changes will provide you with some experience and insight to how drupal is laid out, but drush will be your new best friend.
