Wel yes, but since I'm doing nothing specific, just installing the software as per the book, why am I getting this error whilest all other installations seem to be going as planned.
Could it be a MySQL-5 thing ? (I think we have 5 running on that system, I just thought of it).

Seems InnoDB has some sort of limit on key lengths established which is preventing MediaWiki from creating part of a table.
