 Upgrading from Nagios 1
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Upgrading an existing Nagios 1 installation to nagios 2 is
-unfortunately non-trivial since the configuration file format has
-changed quite severely. 
+Nagios 1 and nagios2 are independent packages. You can have both
+installed at the same time, and both services can run at the same
+time. There should be no interference between the two packages. That
+way, you can take your time in migrating over your configuration.
 
-Therefore, nagios2 is independently packaged, so that you can decide
-when to actually do the upgrade. To avoid conflicts of nagios 1 with
-nagios2, nagios2 has its configuration and run-time data in
-directories named /foo/nagios2 instead of /foo/nagios. When reading
-upstream docs, you usually need to replace nagios with nagios2.
-
-When you install nagios2 on a system that has nagios 1 installed, the
-nagios2 packages will replace your installed nagios 1 packages. The
-nagios 1 packages will be in "uninstalled" state afterwards, which
-will leave nagios 1's configuration and run-time data on the system.
-To remove these, you'll need to manually purge the nagios 1 packages.
+nagios2 allows you to continue supporting the 1.x URLs. After removing
+and purging Nagios 1, do ##+#foo and ##+#bar to have nagios2 take over
+the nagios 1.x URLs.
