Do you already have a board installed?  You can add additional boards at any time, but removing extra boards later might cause damage to your main board if you make a mistake.  It is a good idea to do it in one go, though, just in case something goes wrong.  You obviously don't want to damage an existing board.

Wacintaki (unfortunately) requires you to have two seperate installations of each board, so you'll have two completely seperate boards, each with their own files.  Your first board might be in the "oekaki/" folder, while the second could be "practice/".  Each board has its own copy of the language, resource, and templates folders, and will create its own pictures and avatars folders.

Upon the installation of the second board, though, you simply change around one of the database table prefixes.  The database member prefix, which contains the member profiles, should be the same for both boards (default is "op_").  The database prefix must be different for each board, so one board might have "op_", while the other has "op2_".

Basicly, installing a second board is identical to installing the first board, except the database table prefix is different than the default value in the installer.

Hmm... that's really all there is to it.  You install your first board as normal.  The second board is installed in its own folder, just like normal, except the memberlist database prefix must match the one used on the first board, and the main database prefix must be different from that one used on the first board.  That shares the memberlist only between the two boards, but not the pictures and comments.

Oh yeah, the avatars folder on the second board must point to the avatars folder on the first board, too.  But, that can be changed in the control panel after installation if you forget it.  What you type in is shown in the installer.

As for sharing the login, yes, you must edit the hacks.php file.  Here are the lines you have to change:

// Failsafe, or disable (default)
$cookie_path = '';

// For the whole server (be careful!) or subdomain (OK).
// $cookie_path = '/';

// Shared server that uses accounts (not subdomains).  Folders are CaSe SeNsItIvE!
// $cookie_path = '/AccountName/';

The second option is what you want, since FunPic uses subdomains.  So, add two forward slashes to the first $cookie_path, and remove them on the second, so you end up with this:

// Failsafe, or disable (default)
// $cookie_path = '';

// For the whole server (be careful!) or subdomain (OK).
$cookie_path = '/';

// Shared server that uses accounts (not subdomains).  Folders are CaSe SeNsItIvE!
// $cookie_path = '/AccountName/';

Copy this new hacks.php file to BOTH boards.

No, it's not a very clean solution, but that's why they're called hacks.

ok so for each board  i'd have:

// Failsafe, or disable (default)
    $cookie_path = '';

    // For the whole server (be careful!) or subdomain (OK).
    // $cookie_path = 'username.us.funpic.org/';

    // Shared server that uses accounts (not subdomains).  Folders are CaSe SeNsItIvE!
    // $cookie_path = '/AccountName/';

in hacks.php?

I think you have to give the value of the cookie on the first one, the other ones are just comments, only the first statement declares the value of the $cookie_path.

// Failsafe, or disable (default)
    $cookie_path = 'username.us.funpic.org/';

    // For the whole server (be careful!) or subdomain (OK).
    // $cookie_path = '/';

    // Shared server that uses accounts (not subdomains).  Folders are CaSe SeNsItIvE!
    // $cookie_path = '/AccountName/';
