This file will contain a proper installation manual as soon as 
phpMyMembers reaches some beta state. For the real brave people here is
what you have to do to get it up and running already:

1) Extract the phpMyMembers code onto your webserver
2) Edit includes/config.php and adjust it to your needs
3) Create a database called 'phpMyMembers' (use phpMyAdmin)
4) Create a database user called 'phpMyMembers' with no global privileges
5) Allow that user to do 'select,insert,update,delete' on the newly
   created db. It does not need to do any more.
6) Import the sql file in doc/ to initialise your database
7) Go to http://yoursite/phpMyMembers/

Your installation is basically set up. But wait! There is one more
important step to do, since 'phpMyMembers' incorporates 'phpAuthent' to
take care of the entire privilige system. Click on 'Admin' in the menue.
You should see a login screen of the main user admin program. Login using

    administrator (as a user)
    phpauthent  (as password)

What you then need to do is to create a new user and make it member of
the 'edit' group. If you don't do that, no one will be able to add new
members to phpMyMembers. Of course, you should also change the password
of the 'administrator' user!
