no worries. sorry about the pain. The install process is in fact essentially the same with all three major versions of Joomla. The infomation you enter is the same only it is done at different points and the layout of the page is a bit different.
1) Upload the Rocket Launcher archive file to your server.
2) Use the cPanel's file manager to extract the file.
3) Create a MySQL database and assign a user to it.
4) Browse to the URL in which you extracted the Rocket Launcher archive. (e.g.,
yoursite.com
)
5) Input the information requested.
a) on step one you enter your Super User (aka Admin) info.

The only significant difference is that you do not need to click the "Install Sample Data" button as you did in Joomla 1.5 Rocket Launcher installs.
