 * Yes, another newbie install question!
    I think I’m close to success in getting
   this to work, just one newbie question … I have a MySQL DB set up on my site 
   and the wp-install code seems to be getting further along than it was initially!
   At this point I am getting SQL/DB Errors that the various tables within the DB
   don’t exist … do I have to manually create each table within the DB?

 * Nope the tables should be created automatically.

 * OK, taking a step back … should I have manually created the DB?
    If yes, then
   any suggestions on why the tables aren’t being created … ??

 * OOOOOK,
    It helps when you run the wp-install from the proper folder … strange
   it did anything. But it seems to have run, there is a blog …. but when I try 
   to login to the admin … nothing happens, blank page. Hint?
