Install sample data of Joomla 1.5?? whwre does it say that?
OK let me start over:
1) should I install Joomla 1.5 on my server before I install the Hotstart version of the template?
if yes, should I install Virtuemart component before I install the Hotstart version of the template?

if NO to 1) should I install the contents the contents of the unzipped hot_ecommerce_hotstart folder to ANY folder in my rood hosting space and then continue with instructions?
This site advertizes easy installation, but for somebody that has never used Joomla it takes some things for granted.
Here are the instructions:
Once you finish this installation method, you should get exactly the same copy of this Demo site on your server. Let's start!

1.Unzip file "hot_ecommerce_hotstart.zip" from the archive you downloaded after purchase. Unzip this archive to your computer.
2.Using FTP software (such as FileZilla) upload all files and folders to your hosting space. Make sure that folder where you uploaded files is writable (chmod 777).
3.In browser, open address http://www.your_site_address.com/joomla/index.php (change "your_site_address.com" with your URL, change "joomla" with folder name where you uploaded files).
4.Select your language and click Next.
5.The installer will check your server to find out if it's compatible with Joomla. If you see any parts marked red, please contact your hosting provider to resolve the problem. If all items are green, you can click Next.
6.You can read Joomla License and click Next.
7.You should enter MySQL database connection parameters now. Please enter Host Name (usually "localhost"), Username, Password and Database and click Next. If you get error message, please check parameters. If you don't know correct parameters, please contact your hosting provider.
8.On FTP Configuration page, you can enter parameters of your FTP server. This is not necessary and can be entered later, if needed. So, click Next.
9.On Main Configuration screen you should enter Site Name, e-mail and administrator's password (twice). Click Install Sample Data button. (Otherwise, demo content won't be imported). Once you get "Sample data installed successfully" message, you may click Next.
10.As the Finish screen says, please remove "installation" folder completely from your server (use FTP software).
11.Congratulations, you are done! Click Site button to see your site's frontend, or Admin to see site's backend (login required with username admin and password that you selected during installation).

No, of course you should not. Is mentioned in instructions that you should? HotStart is Joomla installation that you need.

Hi,

hot_start is whole joomla with inserted template and demo data so it would be easier for people to work with it by just changing existing data. You can sure install only template usual way. If you decide to use hot_start just copy all files from it to your hosting root folder , and then browse the site to begin installation.
Both zip containing only template and zip containing hot start is provided to you in zip package you received from us.
