Congratulations!

I poked around on the site and found the Installation
page.  Am I to gather that I should click _here_ where
it says, and it does it all automatically?

When I did it in Konqueror - thinking I could download
first - that didn't help!

So firing up Firefox, and trying that, it does nothing,
and the JavaScript console says that it is void, whatever
that means.
