Where do I find this Carbonize's Lazarus Guestbook?

Thank you anyway

I am trying to figure out how to get started. I did check with my the place where I'm hosted and they do support PHP 4.1 they actually are support PHP 4.3.10 But I"m wondering since I"m a newbie would it be better to try to install the guestbook v.1 51 version.

I'm first trying to follow the first set of instructions for the Advanced Guestbook 2.3.3 which is:
1. Open the configuration file 'config.inc.php' with a text editor
and set up your database settings.

WHAT ARE ME DATABASE SETTINGS? WHERE ARE THEY, IS THERE SOMETHING TO GO BY?

Okay, second instructions which are:
2. Create the tables for the guestbook:
mysql -u<user> -p<pass> <database> < guestbook.sql
Or use the script 'install.php' -> http://www.yourDomain.com/guestbook/install.php

WHAT TABLES ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT, AND CAN I JUST USE THE SCRIPT INSTALL .PHP TO INSTALL EVERYTHING FOR ME?

Then there's step three instructions
3. Give write permissions to these directories:

- public - 777 (drwxrwxrwx) (directory)
- tmp - 777 (drwxrwxrwx) (directory)

I THINK I SAW SOMETHING IN MY FILE MANAGER THAT HAD THOSE NUMBER IN IT.

What is this step for?
4. The default account is:

Username : test
Password : 123

AND AS FOR THE REST OF THE STUFF THAT'S IN THE ZIP FILE, WHERE TO DO PUT IT. LIKE ALL OF THE GIF'S, PANEL STYLE AND SO ON. DO I MAKE SOME KIND OF FOLDER TO PLACE ALL OF THIS IN THEN UPLOAD IT? DO I USE ALL OF THIS STUFF THAT CAME WITH THE ZIP FILE???

Any help would be great appriecitated.. Thank you
