Regarding SharePoint Services

hello there

the msde is in the regular SharePoint installation-right (the first option
on the very first step) ? because I did it already(and as far as I know-I
don't need sql server on the machine and i'm not willing to install sql).
Do I need to continue with the default db which in the first step or open a
new one ?

In the second step-do I need to insert (in the filed "db server) the name of
the server that i'm installing the WSS on (which is the same one) and what is
"the name of the db of sql server" in this case ?

Thank you very very much and i'm realy appreciate your help!

another sql server?

not really my specialty but..

while MSDE is a possibility, I would recommand against it. The
limitations of the desktop engine outweigh the benefits of a full SQL
implementation. If this is merely for tinkering however, ok. Sharepoint
will typically create 4 databases, one called SharepointPortal_config and
a _PROF, _SERV and _SITE database that is prefixed by the name of your
SPS site.

as for your step by step manual, I think you need to give us a few more
details...

I have no sql installed at all and i'm not willing to install (the wss is a
freeware and i'm not trying to change it for my company)

1.Is it possible at all to install the wss without sql installed ?
2. How may I do that and what shoul I put in the field "name of the db of
sql server"

No, you must have at least MSDE; I have been using it for the past 6
months, if I had the money I would install SQL.

Once MSDE is installed this field will auto populate.

o.k,
First-this is a great start
So you're saying that I need to ignore that page (name of db...)

And after that-how may I enter to the first configuration page ? (after the
iis reset)
Thank you very very much

I'm willing to but unfortunnatly not many people know how to work (and
install) with this...

Any suggestions ?
