Description

In the tutorial docs, part 2, we have this text: "Now copy the template admin/base_site.html from within the default Django admin template directory (django/contrib/admin/templates) into an admin subdirectory of whichever directory you're using in TEMPLATE_DIRS." Since I just installed it I figured it might be in the source, and it seems to be there, but since it didn't get installed (using the instructions at the root of the tar file I downloaded) it would be hard to find if one were not the original installer. The suggestion is for the docs to mention that the template dirs are in the source distro, or to have the setup.py script install the templates and have the docs reference that installed location, or have an admin class that does it.

But I'm having fun!!
