[GNC] Problems upgrading to 4.8a

[David Cousens]

Phil,

The installation of the GnuCash help and Tutorial and concepts guide is a
separate download and installation from the installation of the program and is
available under a separate link in the panels on the left on the GNuCash webpage
i.e. https://gnucash.org/docs.phtml .  They should also be able to be installed
from Ubuntu's package manager. Not sure about the scheduled transactions - I
would expect them to be stored in the book but they may be stored in the user
preference information. This wiki
page https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations has information on
where they are stored and you may need to copy them from a backup of your old
system.
