I am a newbie installing for the first time.  
 
	I am on a Mac and get  /.htaccess doesn't exist. Before continuing, you should rename the included htaccess.txt file to be .htaccess (with the period in front of it, and no '.txt' at the end)., but I cannot start a filename in OS X with a period - at least that is what the OS tells me in a message.  What do I do?  Is there some trick or workaround I can use?  I can't be the only one to have faced this problem.
 
	Thanks all!
