Got MT installed - almost - thanks to this page, also installing some of the needed modules on my own. Of course, database support is still lacking, so I sent off an email to tech support telling them to give me CP access already fs. (In nicer wording, of course.) Once I have access to the CP, according to their helpfiles, I should be able to activate MySQL and all should be well. ¬¬

Good luck. If all else fails, find out the address of the tech support place, and go round there carrying a flamethrower. Then ask them nicely to help you.
