    Well I guess I could try that but won`t it try to repopulate the database huh Or will it skip that.

      It will wipe out your database. Install it on a separate instance or another domain.

          Thank you for the offer, I might take you up on that. I kinda figured it would destroy the db but thats ok cause I really haven`t done anything to it yet except change themes.

            I think, for a beginner, it is always a good choice to do 2 installs: one for using, one for learning. And the latter, of course, should contain all that very instructive demo stuff (template+chunks+snippets).
            Then you can go right along. Using a CMS in a REAL site, out of the box, is never a good idea. You have to learn, in advance, what you’re gonna deal with. grin
