When Fantastico creates the installation, it gives you an option to add a default admin user to Drupal. I don't see how to do this when you manually install. Maybe it is later in the installation.

When I try manual, I'm using the same name for database and user (both prefixed with my account id, and the password I give it when I use Control Panel to make the database. I'm giving it the host name given CP reports back to me.

Stumped.
