Good morning Lee,

so it worked not only in theory :) Good to know! The root directory is 
the very same directory. So you have to put FIRST_INSTALL right into 
your MyFirstSite - just change to that directory and type

touch FIRST_INSTALL

Next, you might want to specify typo3_src - and you can do that using

ln -s typo3_src .

Cheers, Peter
