I use mu wordpress 1.5.1 (built on wp 2.5.1), wpg2 v3 plugin and gallery2.2.4. The mu wordpress install is located at http://rootsite.net and the G2 install is located at http://rootsite.net/photos. I am able to use G2 via the wpg2 plugin on my blog and i would like others to have their own G2 install. My mu wordpress install is in subdomain, like http://user.rootsite.net (i am not sure if this matters but in an effort to give as much info). I have an existing G2 standalone install but now i want other users of my blog to use G2 also. I think i can accomplish this with a multisite install?
If i am right in that assumption, then i have been looking over http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Multisite
I scroll down to the How to change a standalone G2 into a multisite heading and start reading

Only if you really want to separate your existing g2 from the codebase, i.e. either move the codebase to another directory or move the existing installation to a new directory, only then you need to follow the next steps

As stated above, i want to make an existing G2 install into a multisite install, so i don't believe i need to do these steps?
So my question is where in this article do i start following these directions?
Step

A) Keep installation in the folder where it is, but move the gallery2 files away to a more general directory

does not seem to be what i need to do. And Step

B) Keep the codebase in the folder where it is, but move the existing installation into a new directory

seems to sound like i want to do. I am unclear on where i need to start following the directions. Could someone clarify?

Do you actually need to change anything with the existing install? It is ok to leave it as-is and also use that codebase to support other multisite installs.. just go to rootiste/photos/install/index.php and go through the installer, selecting multisite this time.. this will let you make other installs using this codebase, but your existing install will keep working too.
