Clearly I am still confused. :-(

I just duid as you sugested, and all went well untill I pushed the "Write
Config" button at Step 2. At this point I was offered teh option fo
downlaoding to the machine that I was running the web browser on this config
file. Since this is where I got hung up last. I stoped to ask what I am doing
wrong. If I download this file, and put it in the config directory, based
upon previous behavior the setup process will refuse to run, because the
config file exists.

What basic misunderstanding do I ahve here?
