[freeside] Couple of Questions

[Jim Scott]

I would love to see something like this. That is the problem with allot this
type of software is you must jump around to find out how to install each
piece. Would be nice to see a document like Kirk lists below that explains
each step that is required to install this software. I even like more that
it is a specific type of install IE...  MySql

Email it to me when you are done!!

Thanks
Jim
