I am reading through the documentation on installing drupal, but I don't understand what is meant by the directions for step 5: Set up cron (http://drupal.org/cron).

Specifically, I don't understand this line: "In Drupal 7 you can enable cron via the Administration > Configuration > System > Cron (admin/config/system/cron)."

Can anybody clarify this for me?

D7 has the equivalent of poor man's cron within core. Thus it utilizes user interaction to run cron and perform the tasks associated with a cron run. The better method is to set up a cron job on the server.
