        And when I found the php5-mysql in databases, the Makefile told
        me how everything fitted together.   :-)

        WEll, I'm not sure how many eons ago it's been since the last
        post, but _no_, I did not take a month's vacation ... nor a nap
        Not even a cup of joe.   BUT: Yes, Virginia, there is a Dog...


        After a partial edit of that wp-config.php from the sample.php,
        and filling in the name, "wordpress", the user "wordpress_user,
        and the password "xyz123", a promising WordPress install page
        showed up.

        I have saved a copy of the original config page and have some
        questions that I'll need for when I write up my readable
        tutorial page.  -----I don't think many of you know that for
        heading toward 7 years, I was the lead writer for a Q/A help page
        for newcomers to FreeBSD.  We all can write; it isn't that
        difficult.  But I spent/wasted 15 years of banging away on a
        typewriter writing stuff and editing stuff before I got
        seriously lucky and discovered computers.   I will need help
        from the rest of the list and readers to make my HOW-TO INSTALL 
        WORDPRESS strictly first-rate.  Given that, I should be the last
        person to *ever* invest going into four days on this kind of
        effort.   That said, a straight-up thanks for y'all who have
        helped me with this.-----

        I cut/pasted part of the config page to a yello w notepad.  It
        unfortunately has those unfortunate DOS EOL things with the ^M.  
        [i Figured maybe in pasting the lines, the wasted byte would
        vanish.  Nope.   Anyway, can folks tell me what is meant by
        "Keys and Salts"]  ??

        There are 8 places with define()'s. I can dream up 8 strings or 
        phrases, no problem.  But without getting into the guts of this
        blog stuff, can anybody tell me why I need unique [[ or
        VERY-VERY unique ]] strings?  

        nExt, multiple instances of this blogware.  A day ago i thought
        that one of the wordpress pages would be more than enough, but
        maybe in a year I'll need one on www and a second in journey.
        So in the unlikely event should I tag:

        ``$table_prefix= 'wp_';'' with ``$table_prefix = 'wp0_';'' ?
        (O think it is better to plan ahead now.  Just in case.)
