Hey,

I hate installing wordpress cuz it takes quite sometime on my lame net, I did a little googling and found a faster way, so if you have a vps or any kind of hosting with SSH enabled, just run those commands:

Step 1: Navigate to where you want to install WordPress
Code:
cd /path/to/your/site/

Step 2: Get and Uncompress the Latest Version of WordPress
Code:
wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
tar xfz latest.tar.gz

Step 3: Move All Files from WordPress Back a Directory
Code:
cd wordpress/
cp -rpf * ../
cd ..

Step 4: A Little House Cleaning
Code:
rm -rf ./wordpress/
rm -f latest.tar.gz

This took me around 20-30secs to do, while it would have taken me at least 15mins to upload all files using my home connection. All you gotta do now is make a database using phpadmin or ssh if you want, add the info to your wp-config.php file and your done :).

And here is an already made script for that:

nice R-T
Here is one click install, download and upload to yoursite.com/ folder
and in ssh run this

Code:
bash wordpress.sh

Your net connection couldn't be slower than mine, it took me only 8 minutes from uploading to login page.

Still this is great-to-know, thanks for the share ;)
