Based on my recent experiences installing fudforum on a web host, I have two recommendations:

Evidently some web hosts don't permit mysql table locking, which results in a difficult to deal with installation problem. The installer checks for a lot of conditions, maybe it should check for this also if possible.
The installer does some tricky stuff for security reasons, making some fudforum folders accessible to the web server but not to the user. When using some web hosts, that may make it very difficult to debug problems or delete an unwanted installation. When fudforum is properly installed and working, it offers its own facility to manage those files - but if fudforum isn't working properly the user may have no good way to get into those folders. It would be great to have an external php script available to change the folders' owners so that a user could get to the files within so they could read, modify, or delete them.

Thanks! -Steve
