3. Set the following directories/files with writable access;
	{orbitfaq}/setup
	{orbitfaq}/setup/*
	{orbitfaq}/skins/{allskins}/skins_c (default is installed with this package)
	{orbitfaq}/orbitfaq/skins/admin/skins_c

4. Access the page by pointing your browser to your url
	e.g. http://www.domain.com/orbitfaq/

5. Setup will be triggered, follow the steps and a config.inc.php file will be created.

6. The setup will attempt to copy the config.inc.php file to its appropriate place
   {orbitfaq}/incs however most times this will fail. If so then manually copy the file
   from {orbitfaq}/setup (this should be renamed to setup_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS but again may not be.
