[geeklog-users] Upgrade problem

[Tony Bibbs]

No, you should comment out the lines in the .sql. file, not 
install.php.  The install script will go through the upgrade .sql files 
in the sql/ directory in order and apply them.  You would need to 
comment any referring to static pages.  I'd seriously consider trying to 
install staticpages and get it working at some point...what you and I 
are talking about here is only a temporary solution.
