[support] Problems installing drupal

[Laura Scott]

Ask your host to allow your database user to have lock tables  
permissions. (The database itself will also need to allow those  
permissions.) Some hosts will not allow this -- I have no idea why --  
but if they give you trouble, there are many other hosts out there --  
a search of the forums will give you several leads.
