Building permalinks

Hi there,

I installed wordpress in my root directory and I’m now trying to get the following permalink structure working:

1. root/blog (for posts)
2. root/blog/$category (to get all posts from one category)
3. root/$page (to go to a page)

By adding the “blog” keyword to the posts permalink it’s possible to put blog posts under this url. However, when I put “blog” also in the category base, the posts don’t work anymore (I guess they cannot overlap).

I tried playing around with the no category base plugin, but then I loose the total prefix, also no blog. How can I get this structure working?
