you could start vom scratch (or you have your own configuration to start with) or you could use a preconfigured distribution someone else has uploaded to TER (in such a distribution there are preinstalled some extensions and there are many lines of TypoScript the author thinks they are usefull)
but this depends on YOUR needs... i normaly use one of this three ways: 1.) from scratch and install my own basic distribution 2.) themes distribution 3.) t3sbootstrap distribution for learning the offical distribution package is a good way, but i imho wouldn't use it in productional usecases... _______________________________________________ TYPO3-english mailing list TYPO3-english@lists.typo3.org http://lists.typo3.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-english
