 config.php
 - pick your language (e.g. English) and click continue
 - On the welcome page ( step=0 ), click Let’s go!
 - On the connection details page (step=1 ) enter the details including a
 table prefix other than wp_ (e.g. wp99_) and click Submit
 - On the sparky page (step=2), click Run the Installation
 You’ll be sent to http://localhost/wordpress-svn/build/wp-
 admin/install.php?language=en_US and see
