When working against external services it can be advantageous to not have automated tasks all hit the service at the exact same time from many different installations. This change allows the use of 'R' in hour/minute fields of the scheduled task definition so a task will be installed with a 'random' hour/minute value for these sort of occasions. Note that the task will be installed in the database with a defined time, this simply randomises the time chosen when loading from the definiton.
QUICK INSTALL ============= For the impatient, here is a basic outline of the installation process, which normally takes me only a few minutes: 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. 2) Create a single database for Moodle to store all its tables in (or choose an existing database). 3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser, you should be taken to the install.php script, which will lead you through creating a config.php file and then setting up Moodle, creating an admin account etc. 4) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so.
