Isaac's directions are terse because there isn't much to do.
Basically, install 0.10 as if you are doing a fresh install. Except 
when you get to the part where you create the database with mc.sql 
instead do this:

in the howto, under "upgrading the database".

well, rather than something like:
mysql -u root < mc.sql
you would do
mysql -u root <  0.9-to-0.10.sql



best,
