Two very helpful answers.

You can install in either root or a subdirectory, though, if it doesn't matter to you, you should install in the root.

What if I want to change from subdirectory to root after I installed (after testing I want to move it to the root)? Is that hard? How would you do it?

I also want to know how to move an instal from a subfoder to the root directory. I want build the drupal site in a subfolder as the main folder contains a live site that will eventually be replaced.

Being new to this, could someone provide step-by step notes.

Thanks,
Alex
