How to install Civicrm - screencast

I've done a screencast here for the non-technical user. It's a Drupal 7 install using Cpanel tools.

Let me know what you think.

Very nice, but you mention that you will use Drupal for all examples, but then the logo for Joomla remains for the CMS.

Also, not sure why you suggest people copy and paste file names into URLs to download. Aside from being a bit complicated for a non-technical user, this is error prone. I would recommend people just click the link to SourceForge and then click the subsequent two links to get the file they need.

For the installer page, however, I would say the contrary--it's easier, I think, to copy and paste the URL from the Run the Installer step of the wiki install page, then to ask someone to drill down into CiviCRM folders. In particular when there's no reason really to look into that folder structure--all one needs to do is get the URL.

Overall, it's a very nice video, however.

Thank you for the good work! :)
