+<p>This page assists in the first time installation and configuration of
+<a href="http://dokuwiki.org">Dokuwiki</a>. More info on this
+installer is available on it's own
+<a href="http://dokuwiki.org/installer">documentation page</a>.</p>
+
+<p>DokuWiki uses ordinary files for the storage of wiki pages and other
+information associated with those pages (e.g. images, search indexes, old
+revisions, etc). In order to operate successfully DokuWiki
+<strong>must</strong> have write access to the directories that hold those
+files. This installer is not capable of setting up directory permissions. That
+normally needs to be done directly on a command shell or if you are using hosting,
+through FTP or your hosting control panel (e.g. cPanel).</p>
+
+<p>This installer will setup your DokuWiki configuration for
+<acronym title="access control list">ACL</acronym>, which in turn allows administrator
+login and access to DokuWiki's admin menu for installing plugins, managing
+users, managing access to wiki pages and alteration of configuration settings.
+It isn't required for DokuWiki to operate, however it will make Dokuwiki easier
+to administer.</p>
+
+<p>Experienced users or users with special setup requirements should use these links
+for details concerning
+<a href="http://dokuwiki.org/install">installation instructions</a>
+and <a href="http://dokuwiki.org/config">configuration settings</a>.</p>
