Thanks for the help guys.
I did submit a ticket to DreamHost support and within an hour, they’d cleared the remnants of my botched attempts and installed wordpress for me! Hooray for helpful peopel, yourselves included.

Thanks again!

Hey, that’s great- Thanks Joni… I already deleted the database once, the problem is it won’t let me do it again as the ‘directory is not empty’. I can see there’s folders in there if I go in through FTP but I can’t et rid of them…
I did initially get to the part where I go to do the actual install (and get my userid/password) however i get a ‘server not found’ error in my browser. I tried clearing cache etc, and it didn’t work, so maybe I’m being impatient?

Sorry for being so painful.

This is probably something really obvious and simple that my poor n00b brain can’t comprehend yet…
