Install PIA (2.6) after or before Cacti (0.8.7e) patches?

[hpsmartyz]

Hello,

the title says it all, nearly.
I have upgraded Cacti from .7b to .7e.
Should I install the PIA first and then apply the Cacti patches or the other way round, knowing that there are files which are modified both by the PIA and the patches?

Thanks.

by the way do I have to load the PIA database?
I had the PIA installed with .7b so I think that I do not have to but just want to make sure.

Thanks

knowing that PIA 2.6 came after the Cacti patches I figured out that it was built onto the patched files.

(I do not have the patch command on my system and so have to copy paste files or do a file by file diff and look at the differences ...)
