What is the best way to create a Child Theme. The website is already up and I haven\'t updated to 4.0 or the most current version of Salient (which I would like to do).
Yes, I've seen it, but if I update now, I will loose the changes I did to the previous versions (menus/scrolling specifics...etc) . My question is, how to install a Child theme now, and then update to the latest version without loosing previous coding. This is my question.
I am afraid it doesnt work like that, you install a parent theme and then do the mods in the child theme so if parent is updated the mods are not lost.

Hey Filipe!
There is a child theme included in the latest version if you download the whole package from themeforest.

Cool, thanks! I had another question related to it. The Child theme is only related to the main style.css.
What if I have changes made to the menu? Would I just create a second Child Theme for the Menu too?
Please see url : http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes for more info on child themes.
