multiple install problems, setup.conf.inc.php 0kb, no login!

hi guys,
i've read and re-read almost all of the posts here, also translated the german ones to english but can't seem to solve my probs, installing phpwcms - the only reason i'm persisting with this is because i think this is a wonderful system and i'd rather use this or not use any cms at all, so please help....
my sys info is as under (shared/commercial hosting package)
system: Linux secure.bravo-server.net 2.4.25
server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.3.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2634 mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.6b
php: v4.3.4
path: /home/alternat/public_html
i've unzipped (via windows) the package: phpwcms_1[1].1-RC2_2004-04-04.zip into the public_html directory on the host.
created a db name: alternat_web
created a db user with password to access alternat_web db with all permissions.
started install using http://www.alternateplanet.net/setup/index.php
i can create all the tables in the db after executing the first step
when i come to the second step:
create site infos and admin account
i cant create a user, even the default: webmaster/admin doesnt work!!!, dont know why!!! this is my first problem!
the system comes up with
Check your admin user name and password!
if i leave the
create admin account: ticked (as per the documention)
if i untick this i am able to pass through the rest of the setup with no problems, but then my second major problem --- there is not a single word in the file: setup.conf.inc.php in the setup directory!!!
i've deleted the db and users and even re-ftp'd the setup folder a number of times, but cant get through this!!!?!?!
i even tried copying other's conf files and changing the db_user and other info to my users, that does bring up the index.php page but i can't login due to my very first problem (no records in the database!!!)
there are no other errors coming up, the privacy setting in my ie on winxp pro is low and i accept all the cookies, i just cant figure out what the problem is!!!
you can browse my directories if you want to: also the permissions are set to 777 so if you want to test things out you can even write/change the files
thanks in advance
============
another issue (after i've resolved the above probs...): i'm only on a 10mb hosting package, unzipping this takes up around 10.5 mb of space, anybody know anything that i delete in this package to strip it down, so as to bring the size down to somewhere around 5mb when this finally gets working!!!
i don't need a forum type site: just a plain site but with the functionality of managing content via this package and having independent control over content and design...
