    I am watching Shaun’s video here: http://vimeo.com/8335791?hd=1

    At t=3:20 he says, "Most of you will be using beta5 so you’ll wanna leave these UNchecked."

    At the bottom of the ’Install Options’ page are two check boxes.

    The final check box says:

    Check this if you exported MODx from SVN (no)

    -or-

    extracted it from the full MODx package to the server prior to installation.

    I uploaded the archive modx-2.0-beta-5.zip to my server and unzipped it there using linux/unix unzip commnd from bash shell:

    unzip -a modx-2.0-beta-5.zip

    or tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz

    if I can get *.tar.gz

    Two questions:

    1. Should I check this box? (It would seem I should, contrary to what Shaun says)

    2. Is there a way to install MODx without first extracting the package to the server?

    What am I missing? Is there terminology I need to familiarize myself with?
