there is also this which is pretty comperhensive

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/162231-quick-install-guide/

But in essence

create a database and create a user and password and join the two (take a minute in your web host control panel)

upload the catalog folder to your web space via FTP

once uploaded go to catalog / includes / configure.php and make sure the file is writable do the same for catalog / admin / includes / configure.php then call the instller in your browser like http://yourstore.com/catalog an installer will appear whereby you enter your details, follow it till the end (4 steps)

One done your store is installed, you ten need to change the permissions of the two configure.php files and delete the install folder
