This helps for setting a proper installation directory. Output is now:

Checking environment...

    * PHP 4.3.8: ok
    * Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. MediaWiki
will work correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to
potential security vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on
your server. You should disable it if you are able.
    * PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title)
    * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
    * PHP's memory_limit is 8M. If this is too low, installation may
fail! Attempting to raise limit to 20M... ok.
    * Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
    * Couldn't find GD library or ImageMagick; image thumbnailing disabled.
    * Installation directory: /mn/sarpanitu/ansatte-u20/johans/www_docs/wiki
    * Script URI path: /johans/wiki

But once I submit all the information and press install, all I get is
a blank page as before.
As you might remember, the logfiles report that
includes/DefaultSettings.php could not be found. I have asserted that
this directory is readable, and even removed the default .htaces s
(with Deny from all) that was included in mediawiki/includes.

Could it be the same problem as above with GetCwd returning false somewhere?
