Thanks, Simon.

I went through all of the files, and even went so far as to open up all 
permissions (777) on all files with no luck.  I also found something about 
MySQL 5 and sql mode setting it to MYSQL40,  restart MySQL server, and 
recreate database.  No luck.

I am running drupal on my local server running Fedora Core 6.  So, no FTP.  
phpinfo() works fine.

Install script: first line is <?php

To recap some other information that may have dropped off the original post:
Drupal 5.1
MySQL 5.0 
PHP 5.1.6
Apache 2.2.3

I followed the instructions :
- change httpd.conf:
        - DocumentIndex index.php index.html
        - AddType  test/html .shtml php

- create an empty database, 
- set browser to the base URL

All I get is a blank page.  If I go to http://www.mydomain.com/install.php, 
Firefox tries to download it.  If I let it download, it is just an empty 
file.

Thanks to everyone for their help so far.
