+OVERVIEW
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The steps involved in installing MRBS are:
-FILE UNPACKING
+1. Installing the MRBS files on your web server
+2. Creating the MRBS tables in your database
+3. Configuring MRBS
+
+After that you can then point your browser at MRBS and start creating areas
+and rooms.
+
+
+INSTALLING THE MRBS FILES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install MRBS, just unpack the distribution into a temporary directory,
then copy the files in the "web" subdirectory into a new directory somewhere
your web server can find them.
-For example:
+If you are using a remote webserver, unpack the files into a temporary
+directory on your local machine and then upload them to suitable directory
+on your webserver, for example mydomain.com/mrbs
+If you are using a Unix/Linux webserver to which you have access, then
+an example of the installation might be:
+
Unpack the software into a new temporary directory, something like this:
$ tar -xvzf ~/download/mrbs-1.0.tgz (or whatever version)
$ cd mrbs-1.0 (or whatever version)

-DATABASE SETUP
+CREATING THE MRBS TABLES IN YOUR DATABASE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a new install:
-You can place the MRBS database tables in an existing database or
-create a new database with the following:
+If you are using a remote webserver you should use your database
+administration program (eg phpMyAdmin in your control panel) to create the
+MRBS tables, by executing the contents of tables.my.sql. For example, if
+you are using phpMyAdmin copy the contents of tables.my.sql into the SQL
+tab of phpMyAdmin and execute it as an SQL query. This assumes that you
+have already created a database - if not you should create a database
+first.
+If you are using a Unix/Linux webserver to which you have access, then the
+procedure might be:
+
[MySQL] $ mysqladmin create mrbs
[PostgreSQL] $ createdb mrbs
