On the Inside DealTaker blog there's the first part of a tutorial on getting started with the latest revision of the Kohana PHP framework (v3.0).

So you might have read my aricle on frameworks and/or my series of tutorials on Kohana PHP 2.3.x and you are wanting more. Today, I drop the old 2.3.x and bring the new and shiny! So I bring you information to get you started with Kohana PHP 3.0!

The tutorial walks you through the unpacking, installing and configuration of your Kohana setup. They also help you create a simple controller that outputs a simple message on request.
