I'm posting these notes in case they help other Synology users get 8.1 running.

As mentioned in the instructions, I received the message about port 9790 not being available. However, the recommended solutions, to wait and then restart if necessary, did not work (despite multiple attempts). I saw that it was "not recommended" to stop or uninstall a previous installation of MinimServer, but I decided to try this since I was getting nowhere. Stopping the server in the Package Center immediately freed up the port.

I initially got directory read errors after upgrading. It turned out that I had to go into Control Panel/User and reset the privileges for the minimserver daemon--these access privileges, which I had set for the previous version, did not survive the upgrade. A restart of MinimServer in the Package Center was then required to get things working right.

I have a DS213, running DSM4.2, if this matters.
