do i just use monticello to update?
I haven't updated ConfigurationOfPier2 yet to take the latest changes so Monticello is the way to go. I assume you are using a recent image, in which case it should just be a matter of using Monticello to load Pier-Seaside-NickAger.526.
now, i really wish i would have gone with my gut and uploaded my image
with remote desktop installed..
Do you have a local configuration that mirrors your server configuration - that way you can minimise or eliminate remote configuration.
