[Mediawiki-l] Wikimedia Dump

I have 2 questions:
 1. When I downloaded the pages_current.xml.gz file dated 9/3/05, I had 
problems importing the file to my localhost wiki. It gave the error message 
"Import source unknown". Could somebody please help me with this. I wan't to 
mirror the meta wiki on my local machine so that i have access to the user 
guide and other files, since i don't have home internet access.
 2. I was wondering to export all the pages of a wiki like all wikimedia 
sites do. 
 Thank You, shardsofmetal
