NO! You don't want to run the installation again, you want to run the upgrade script (/install/upgrade.php).

You do not need a new database. However, one step that was left out which I think is important is to Back Up Your Database Before you do the upgrade!!!!

And yes, you will need to turn off your forum.

I'm just curious, you said: don't say read the manual. But did you actually check it out? It's actually dumbed down quite a bit in the manual, as it goes to far as to tell you just how to unzip a file and what an FTP program is and whatnot.
