Thanks again for all the help in getting set up with a local install of MediaWiki.
I've just received word that one of the sessions will have 72 people and the other 38 for "Wiki Wiki Learning".
What do you think about approaching Michael at the Linspire / Lindows Corp and sharing the positive experience with setting up MediaWiki? Could we suggest he include the software in the Click-N-Run Warehouse? Would this be possible and would it be ok with the foundation and the developers?
I'm so encouraged by the easy install and the excellent setup that I'd be willing to try it on an iMac... or the iBook, but only after the conferences, the first of which is in one more week.
With thanks to all who've responded to my questions...
Sincerely, Jay B.

Good to hear that
It's the same as http://127.0.0.1/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
This is the IP address of your computer. There is nothing wrong with that.
That's the domain name of your computer. You choose the "linspiron" part during GNU/Linux installation (can be changed later).
It's your computer; there is nothing wrong with that address.
somehow the ¨index.php¨ part doesn´t seem
It's right.
MediaWiki uses "pretty URLs" so instead of ? it uses / to make the URL more beautiful.

One issue I had was the lack of a normal autoconf-style configuration which would be useful in cases where the user isn't going to want to configure the program through a console session and their web browser. It'd be handy to have such an interface for those of us that want to script the install without reinventing the wheel every single time. It'd probably make MediaWiki easier to package consistantly across platforms too I'd imagine. Is there anything like that available?
