The following requirements were successfully met:

* You have the gd extension
* You have the hash extension
* You have the iconv extension

If anyone can help I would really appreciate it and even later give something back.I really need Magento setup by Thursday 01/10/09 as I need to start with a project on friday.
I am new to Magento and have to familirize myself with the code but my first challenge is the installation.
Thanks in advance.
