Previously, the acknowledgement was required only when installing plugins from the ZIP file. It is valid when installing plugins from the Plugins directory, too. So we display it at the validator page now to make sure it is displayed in both cases. There is no need to require the admin to check the acknowledgement box now. We do not do that anywhere in admin UI (and there are more dangerous operations than installing a plugin). Admins still can deploy plugins manually without this tool anyway. And at the end, they are admins. They should know what they are doing. Simply displaying the acknowledgement message before they click the install button is enough.
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. For more information, see the INSTALL DOCUMENTATION: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle Good luck and have fun! Martin Dougiamas, Lead Developer
