Installing Drupal

Anyone know of install instuctions or a document outlining filestore2?
All I can find is the module download (which contains no helpful info).
I would like to know what the patch is doing and how the module works.
Any links to suggest?

At the suggestion of some here, I have installed the cvs version of Drupal. I have gotten almost everything set up the way I need it (I had to update some modules and create a new one) except for one thing. I can't go live without it. PLEASE help me.

I've set up drupal in a subdirectory but I need the urls to point to the root. I tried the following the instructions and suggestions offered here but I haven't been successful. The following steps are what I thought was supposed to work.

Hi, I can't get my drupal to work, pls help.

This is where I have it installed:

http://ejerecords.freeunixhost.com/GDM/drupal/

On the conf.php file:

$db_url= "mysql://user:pw@freeunixhost.com/dbname";

where of course "user", "pw" and "dbname" are substitute by the real values

then:

$base_url = "http://freeunixhost.com";

How do I create a distributed authentication network ?

I know Drupal offers it... but I just can't find it... Can someone show me :s ...

How do I specify a list of sites which are a part of this distributed network ?

How do I change or switch domain ?

My current domain is http://127.0.0.1/
I want to change it do http://intranet/

I changed the values in includes/conf.php.
But the http://127.0.0.1 domain still remains.

What could be wrong... ? Thanks

When I visit the main page of my drupal 4.5 webpage, I get tons of the same error:

user error: Can't create/write to file '/tmp/#sql_3199_0.MYI' (Errcode: 13)
query: SELECT DISTINCT(p.perm) FROM role r INNER JOIN permission p ON p.rid = r.rid INNER JOIN users_roles ur ON ur.rid = r.rid WHERE ur.uid = 0 in /var/www/html/drupal4.5/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 125.

I sometimes get that error, but with watchdog on version 4.4.2 too .. but then there's only one error though. Theones on 4.5 are many.
