- If Joomla 1.5 is already installed, how do I get the sample data if I simply install the template? If I missed a step for installing sample data, is there any way to upload the sample data without killing all the changes I made to the template by re-installing?

Just upload the installation folder, delete your configuration.php file and run the install again. Ensure your database is cleared as well.
But before that, backup. - James Spencer / Developer & Support / Hull, UK

Partial data restores are no fun. And we've made enough changes to our RT css files that it's more work than it's worth to restore those.
Joomla 1.0-to-1.5 migrations are frightening enough without going through the config nightmare again. Sorry, RocketLauncher J1.5 from is a dream compared to migrations. No stomach for that.
I was hoping for something cleaner, where I could just ftp up some files or insert some record via PHPmyAdmin, but I guess I was dreaming. Unless, of course, I misunderstood something.

- It depends entirely on how your site is setup, if its just an empty site with just your template modifications, then just backup your template and do a reinstall. It depends on the specifics.
