-To run the install script, you'll need to temporarily make the 'config'
-subdirectory writable by the web server. The simplest way to do this on a
-Unix/Linux system is to make it world-writable:
-
-  chmod a+w config
-

 Hop into your browser and surf into the wiki directory. It'll direct you into
 the config script. Fill out the form... remember you're probably not on an
 encrypted connection.
 Gaaah! :)
