OK. Well...I just checked all of the available versions on the osCommerce website (including Beta) and the Instructions 10-14 do not exist in any of the packages. Some of the earlier packages include instructions 1-10 with Additional Notes. So, I'm with the above poster who asked what "IMPORTANT: If you choose to install these files be sure to complete installation steps 10 - 14 before using." refers to in the install.txt file that is contained in all packages after 1.1. Also, in that same file is included this line under ---INSTALLATION--- "You have just to compare the files which are based on a version MS2. It is indicated to interior the modifications carried out for the files of origin with the MS2." Which further confuses the matter to me.
Basically, I can read and understand instructions 1-10 included in version 1.1. But, I have reservations about following those instructions while applying the latest updated files (ie someone posted the instruction 10-14 comment for a reason). Reasons for not going with version 1.1 and following instructions seem to be all the fixes and updates and changes that have been made to accomodate real world difficulties. So, I don't feel entirely ignorant or foolish to ask this question once again with all due respect to your above stated opinion. Just basically, where are instructions 10-14, and what additional changes are necessitated to accomodate an osCommerce 2.2-MS2 build, if any, in light of the ""You have just to compare the files which are based on a version MS2. It is indicated to interior the modifications carried out for the files of origin with the MS2." comment under installation?
