[geeklog-devel] Another Updated Installer

[Jason Whittenburg]

There are many a issue that I can see...

1) User rights to create, the user account provided shouldn't have create
or drop access for security reasons in the first place. :-)

2) Trapping errors from mysql would require more code

3) ISP's wouldn't want this... :-)

Just my thoughts
