 * Just grabbed the latest.tar.gz off the site, installed it an all that, but at
   the end when it tells me to login with my randomly generated password, the wp-
   login.php doesnt exist (it actually doesnt..)
 * I retrieved the latest.tar.gz again, extracted it, etc, again, no wp-login in
   the wp-admin folder.
 * Anyone know what’s up? or, how to fix it, or, if im just smoking too much crack?
 * It’d be nice if someone could at least verify that im not a crackhead, and tell
   me they also dont have wp-login.php in the latest.tar.gz…
 * ###edit###
    ok, turns out that the final install page looks for wp-login in the
   wp-admin folder, which is where i was looking for it. turns out it is in the 
   root directory.
 * i thinks i found a bug? 😀

 * Dunno, not using this version at all, but if you think it’s a bug, you should
   do a trac report….
