I read the thread that every new account comes with a free OsCommerce template installed int cPanel but I cannot locate it.
Does anyone know where I can get this?

Sugar.....

OSC is a great and wonderful cart, but even more than I can handle. Something about being open-ended like Linux/RedHat, and after viewing the OSC support site with all the "fixes" and thousands of uploads rather put me off....
(I decided to go the Soho way instead, personally). As it is, unless you are satisfied with the free templates included, you will undoubtedly need to spend a few bucks for some customizing, so in essence, it may not be free after all.
Read some of the older threads to see the common misconceptions and basic errors to best prepare.....choose your 'game plan' first, including templates, customization costs, flash intros, etc. ...Prepare, prepare, prepare!

To answer you question, though, in your cPanel, at the very bottom is a smiley face called Fantastico. Push it, and install OSC from there.
Only 1 per account, and only on a fresh, clean, unpublished anything account. If you have an account with anything BV on it, get another one. You'll be very glad you keep it all separate, even if you later send files into the new account as needed. Trust me. READ ALL THE THREADS!
Good Luck.

I dont think the oscommerce cart is right for me after all, I find it a little frustrating and not worth the time, so I will pursue a different route,
Thanks so much
