Magento Install Step by Step Tutorials
We’ve recently spotted a couple of great Magento install tutorials.
The first is by a Magento Community member, srikat. The article goes through an installation for Dreamhost (although it can be applied to any hosting provider) and includes a ~5 minute screencast. Highly recommended.
The second is by the guys from Crucial Web Hosting. This is a step-by-step tutorial for installing Magento on one of their Split-Shared hosting accounts.
If you spot any additional install tutorials, please let us know

The first one, pointing to srikat, is a dead link.
