 * Hello, i recently took over a site (www.investorsbeyondborders.com
 * I made a new site temporarily under aboutus.investorsbeyondborders.com
 * When i instill wordpress using fantastico, i try selecting the ‘investorsbeyondborders.
   com’ site and it says I cannot install over the root directory. I guess because
   the original site is found here,
 * Im wondering how I can remove this and ahve my new site working properly.
 * thanks,

 * You have to have Fantastico install into aboutus.investorsbeyondborders.com not
   into investorsbeyondborders.com
