I installed MEdiaWiki 1.2.6 yesterday without problems.

I also downloaded a few db dumps from the wikipedia site. (for example:20040620_cur_table.sql)

How do i install the data into my Wiki for testing using phpMyadmin?

phpmyadmin has an option for uploading a file of sql commands. This might work, however be aware that the amount of data is very large; you might or might not be able to use that on the large dump files.

You may also need to increase the max packet size in your mysqld configuration.

Also, How do I customize the look/feel of my wiki pages?

Change the stylesheets, change the skin code to produce the output you want.
