 * Hi there,
    I already read a lot about custom post types, metaboxes and such, 
   but I’m still not sure so:
 * When I install my WordPress theme, I want it automatically add several Custom
   Post Types with various fields AND metaboxes to edit them. So, there will be 
   php involved.
 * What is the best way to implement this and if you have any links to decent tutorials,
   can you please provide them here?
 * thanks
