Multisite doesn’t go an find exisiting installs. 🙂
You have to merge in the other sites to your main one, then you would physically remove the folders that are currently there.
Sites in a multisite setup do not physically exist in folders on the server. they only look like they do. 😉 they are served up virtually from the database via rewrite rules in .htaccess.
and on hosts like GoDaddy, it really is less painful if your main domain in the root (public_html) folder is the one that is the main site in the network.

thanks Andrea
I will reload 3.0 today in the root & set up to use subfolders
I’ll recreate other blogs as sites & import past posts
My main blog is http://www.humantrinity.com/blog/ with my only
sub domain (blog.humanatrinity.com) pointed at it.
When I finish the above, where exactly would I re-point the subdomain in the new install. I think it has to be pointed to a folder
And… could you point me to info on the set up of sites in MU, i’m feeling a little lost. Everything I know about WP & html is self taught with a whole lot of ‘fakin it’
Thanks

Dang, that’s my line… 😀

Point it to the main install. the “folders” are virtual – they don’t exist on the server.
Making a new site, you go to Super Admin -> Sites, scroll to bottom, fill out 3 fields and click the button. presto, new site.
wpmututorials.com is my blog and there’s a whole pile of neat stuff in the archives about how this all works.
