FOG 1.5 Database Setup instructions need uppdate

The instructions for FOG Server installation include the following:
Database setup
While most of the installation runs without intervention, there is one step you need to do manually. The installer will prepare the database for you and then ask you to open your web browser and visit the FOG web UI to build the initial database schema or promote an existing database with new schema updates. Make sure you follow this step and only proceed with the installer (hit ENTER) after the schema update/setup has finished, or the installer will fail.
In build 1.5.10.2518 this has become a question in the interactive install. If you try from the web UI a user will receive a Denied message.
The instructions need an update.
