Post install tasks

[JDR]

Hi,

I have just installed 2-0-17.

The installation went smoothly, at the end 2 thing occurred:

1) An option with a tick box was presented asking if I wanted to remove the install files - It did warn however that ticking the box may not remove the files. So my question is - which ones are the install files so I can check if the files were indeed deleted.

2) At the end of the install the message, "Your installation directory is still writable. It's a good idea to chmod it so that it is not writable for security reasons." was displayed. I read elsware on the forum "SMF will work well with settings of 755 for directories and 644 for files -- on most webservers" - how exactly does one go about doing the actual chmod? and I assume these recommended settings will address the 'writable' installation directory warning that was displayed?

Thanks in advance,

JDR
