Old article. Some of those links don't exist anymore. Have pointed them to relevant content. Thank you for letting us know.

Those steps are explained in further detail in the CB Primer Book. For example on page 103 where it explains registration parameters there's a note regarding Joomlas registration parameter. Most of those steps aren't necessary anymore as many are automatically handled already (e.g. our system plugin by default will block access to Joomlas registration form).

A package installation does not show the splash screen. It only shows splash screen for single installs. So for example if you installed only CB. Reason is it doesn't know which splash screen it should show in a multi-product install, but you can view them anyway in the log by clicking the "show" link next to a success message.

Once our Quickstart package has been released it will also handle the entire initial configuration for you out of the box.
