[support] am I doing thingts wrong!

[Jim Ruby]

I just erased everything and used drupal 7.8 with the same steps and no
error messages.

Clearification on step 2, wile I was uploading the drupal files to the
server I was creating the db (multitasking).

Bugs like these are very specific and you may receive better feedback via
the issue queues on drupal.org rather than the support list. Check the core
issue queue or the filefield sources issue queue.

I didn't quite get Step 2, but make sure if it is a fresh install you are
starting out with a completely blank db (no data or tables). Assuming that
you have read all the README documentation and followed the instructions for
installing both, nothing you have described is "wrong."

As a side note: this could also be usability related. The sentiment "I'm
doing it wrong" is dangerous because users who express this are perhaps
doing everything that seems intuitive to them, but there's a usability or
design problem that exists and subsequently leads to the error. This user's
perspective is really valuable for those of us developing Drupal core and
modules; it provides a use case not yet considered that we can fix.
