This package contains all the files required to install FUDforum, 
uninstall FUDforum and to upgrade existing forum installations.

Install steps:
--------------

1) Copy 'install.php' and 'fudforum_archive' to a web browsable directory.
	It is a good idea to place the script in the same directory you
	intend to install the forum to.

2) Run install.php from your web browser.

3) The install wizard will take you through 5 simple configuration steps.
