Installing Drupal

Hi im a newbie to CMS in general but was told on the advice of someone that I should take a look at Drupal.

So I downloaded the tar into my directory...and began the process of following my instructions.

Why is it that all CMS install instructions are a nightmare? Does it really need to be this way?

Starting from the top...

Hey, Im fairly new to PHP but i have followed the instructions and when loading drupal i get the following errors.

Warning: Undefined variable: conf in C:\webpub\drupal4\includes\common.inc on line 776

Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at C:\webpub\drupal4\includes\common.inc:776) in C:\webpub\drupal4\modules\user.module on line 5

Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\webpub\drupal4\includes\common.inc:776) in C:\webpub\drupal4\modules\user.module on line 5

Hello, everyone!

I have some stranhge problem - hope smb will help me solve them:

On the news feeds admin page, there is an option to "tag items". What does this mean?

I'd like to change some of the title text on my drupal site. I've done this in the past by editing the code, but it seems I should be able to do what I want using the locale.module.

For example, in the user block, I see the following:
"Create blog entry" with the title text "Add a new personal blog entry" (visible on rollover)

I would like:
"Create journal entry" with the title text "Add a new entry to your personal journal".

Hi!
