OK I must be doing something seriously wrong because DDN does not even install for me..

1.  Can someone please point me to an Installation Guide? 

2.  I followed the instructions in readme.txt but my browser just hangs on http://localhost/DotNetNuke.  And I get a DotNetNuke_2 site in addition to the DotNetNuke site that I already created. 

Any ideas??

slight update...

1.  I found the "installation guide".  Too bad it's useless.

2.  It looks like DotNetNuke_2 comes from the Visual Studio solution.  Not a  big deal here. 

3.  Browser still hangs...  I get some errors in the Event Viewer:

You will need to alter the sln file with notepace and change the http://localhost/DotNetNuke_2 to the DotNetNuke you want. In ASP.NET 2.0 Visual studio will create the virdir for you based on that web address in the sln file. This is probably the problem you are seeing. There is a seperate download for documents, btw.
