I was just whining about the lack of an install script that lets me install drupal without a shell.
this list is for development discussion. not for whining. for example, this list is a good place for posting a proposed technical design for such an install system. or if that is too ambitious, post a set of functional requirements. Or use cases. Or UI mockup. Whining on the list is disrepectful to he hundreds of people who dedicate time to read these messages.
The real point of the message was to outline the specific problem with having to recompile php, which is part of this same problem of assuming that people have root shell access on the machines.
all you need for installing drupal is ftp and phpmyadmin.
