I have a site which is not permanently connected to the internet.

I'd like to allow Wikipedia usage for users when they have no internet 
access, by using a local server with a copy of Wikipedia content.

How can I import the whole (English) Wikipedia?

I googled a bit, I see http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/ 
contains the latest dump of Wikipedia, but it's still not very clear how 
to import all this into a fresh MediaWiki installation.

Any helpful hand out there?
