The Name
We couldn't really think of anything to name FSInstaller, and someone had just called it FSInstaller once during a meeting, and it just sort of stuck. While spelled as either FSInstaller or FS Installer, it is referred to as the same program. The 'FS' part of the program comes from the site that founded this program, Futura SalusWhy we created FSInstaller
While installing Simple Machines Forum for someone, we had simply realized that not everyone knows how to upload and extract files, and that not everyone has a high speed internet connection. In addition, some users may be in a hurry to create a forum, blog, or CMS, and wouldn't want to wait to download it to their computer, and upload it again to their web site. Also, users may want to try several forums, blogs, CMSs, etc., and this would help reduce wait time.When it was founded
The very first file was created November 19, 2006, although the program was not annouced to the rest of the staff at Futura Salus until November 25, 2006.
