Ah, but this step doesn't seem to work like it should. I guess by 
'first menu item' you mean '1:Basic Configuration', but if I click on 
that, I get:

>The current username, password or host was not accepted when the

But where can I change these paramaters? The problem is that I just 
don't get the basic config page where I can enter the database name, 
user and pw?

I've done the following:

- Downloaded typo3_src+dummy-4.3.2.zip
- Unzipped it and uploaded the folder to my shared webosting account
- Created the ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL file
- I set the permissions as indicated here:
http://www.training-typo3.com/2008/12/09/installation-of-typo3-for-newbies-part-1-ftp-htaccess-and-chmod/

And then I ran my site, but instead of getting the first option 
(1:Basic Configuration) where I can enter the database parameters, I 
get '10:About', and if I try '1:Basic Configuration', i get the error 
message that the username, password or host are wrong, but I haven't 
even entered them yet!

Where can I enter the database parameters...?
