I download the zip file which is in this site. --> wget <-- "http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.x.x.tar.gz tar -zxvf drupal-x.x.x.tar.gz -->" I'm not expert when it comes to mysql. but I manage to create a database named "drupal" (as stated in the instruction) with the use if mysql control center. I don't know what to put in the database, what tables, fields, etc. then, It doesn't make any sense for me, coz I don't know where will I paste this unzip file of drupl. will I paste it in the htdocs of apache or what?.. so guys help me with this.. I'm not an expert, so maybe I need a spoon feeding answers.. thank you

I think if you follow the drupal handbook you will find it easy
start with http://drupal.org/node/258
and http://drupal.org/node/260

There's an install.txt included with the package. This file is also available on drupal.org: http://drupal.org/node/260.

Point 3 considers loading the database scheme. This can be done by executing the contents of database.mysql as SQL statements.
