The screencast at http://mrdychko.info/node/38 gives a complete walkthrough for installing Drupal on shared hosting with Hostmonster.com. It was recorded live during a professional development session for high school teachers. It includes: sign-up process, uploading and extracting files, creating a MySQL database, running the Drupal install script, installing modules, configuring php.ini to allow larger file uploads, creating a new content type which includes a file upload field, creating a view (with the Views module) to display uploaded files, and setting up a cron job. All in 42 min and 24 seconds!
