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.

   Tip: Upload them with your forum's 'File Manager' Admin Control Panel.

2) Run upgrade.php from your web browser.

3) After the upgrade, the consistency checker will be started in a pop-up window.
   If not, you will need to run the consistency checker manually.
