Aha! I've got a screen (no images, but text!)

Here's what I had to do:

-I installed MySQL.
-I then download the latest CVS from turbine.
-I then follow Turbine's steps for the database- namely:
   mysqladmin create turbine
   mysqladmin turbine < MySQL_users_roles_permissions.sql
-I also download from www.worldserver.com/mm.mysql the JDBC drivers. The
.tar includeds 2 .jar files. I placed the one named mysql_uncomp.jar to my
classpath.
- I then (and I'm guessing here, because when I try to login to Jetspeed I
get an error ) changed the following lines in TurbineResources.properties

database.default.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
mysqldatabase.default.url=jdbc:mysql:thin:turbine@localhost:3306 (this use
to be oracaledatabase.default.url=...)
database.default.username=root
database.default.password=   <left blank for now>
...
database.adaptor.DBMM=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver

Like I say, I still have 2-problems: I get no graphics, and I cannot login
to Jetspeed. I figure I still have 1-error in my
JetspeedResources.properties file and at least 1-error in my database setup.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve B.
