+  <li>Open up the root of the Freeside document tree in your web
+  browser.  For example, if you created the Freeside document tree in   
+  /home/httpd/html/freeside, and your web browser's DocumentRoot is
+  /home/httpd/html, open http://your_host/freeside/. Replace
+  "your_host" with the name or network address of your web server.
+
+  <li>Once in the Freeside web interface, you must first create a
+  service.  An example of a service would be a dial-up account or a
+  hosted virtual domain.
+
+  <li>After you create your first service or services, you must then
+  create a package of that service or services which you will sell to
+  your customer.  To allow flexibility in changing your service
+  offerings, Freeside requires that you bundle your services into a
+  package before customers may purchase them.  For instance, you could
+  create a leased line package which would consist of a one-time
+  charge for the customer premise equipment, the monthly service fee
+  for the leased line, a backup dial-up account, and a support
+  contract.  You could also create a leased line package which omits
+  the support contract simply by adding a new package that does not
+  include the support contract.
+  
+  <li>After you create your first package, then you must define who is
+  able to sell that package by creating an agent type.  An example of
+  an agent type would be an internal sales representitive which sells
+  regular and promotional packages, as opposed to an external sales
+  representitive which would only sell regular packages of services.
+
+  <li>After creating a new agent type, you must create an agent, and
+  assign the the agent type you just created to it.
+
+  <li>If the service you created was of type svc_acct, you may have to
+  create a POP from the main menu before you can create your first new
+  customer.
+
+  <li>If you are using Freeside to keep track of sales taxes, you must
+  define tax information for your locale by clicking on the "View/Edit  
+  locales and tax rates" link on the Freeside main menu.
+
+  <li>Finally, set up at least one referral by clicking on the
+  "View/Edit referrals" link in the Freeside main menu.  Referrals
+  will help you keep track of how effective your advertising is, by
+  helping you keep track of where customers heard of your service
+  offerings.  You must create at least one referral.  If you do not wish to
+  use the referral functionality, simply create a single referral only.
+  
+  <li>You should now be ready to sign up your first customer by
+  clicking on the "New Customer" link at the top of the Freeside main
+  menu.
