As a fellow newbie, please allow me to *strongly suggest* that you save yourself a few headaches and buy the 4-CD set from Walnut Creek (http://www.cdrom.com). I have found, and continue to find, that the manual it comes with - not to mention the fact that I don't have to figure out an FTP install - is more than worth the $60 USD or so it costs.
