First Time Edit of Tax Rates

[Accounts Receivable for Hurontario.net]

I am setting up Freeside for the first time. Our system is using
Redhat 5.1 Kernel 2.0.35, > Perl 5.005_03 (Not Redhat, 
downloaded, untarred, and installed from Perl.org)
MySQL 2.22.22-3, and  DBI 1.13

When I click on View/Edit locales and tax rates it takes me to a 
page with the following information:

<page starts here>
Tax Rate Listing 

Main Menu | Edit tax rates

Click on expand country to specify a country's tax rates by state. 
Click on expand state to specify a state's tax rates by county. 

CountryStateCountyTax
</page>

Only Main Menu and Edit tax rates are links. Am I looking in the 
wrong place for a link to add a new country ??

Also, if I go to the 'New Customer' link, there is no field for 
State/Country.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Anne-marie
