I am about to try out the Drupal to see how it fits my needs but looking at the installation routine I have some questions. The database I use at my ISP is a shared one so it is used to run several applications. So what I would want is the tables created for Drupal named drup_****. Is that possible?

Yes.

You can specify the prefixes of your drupal tables, by editing it in your settings.php file. In addition, you will have to add the prefixes to your drupal tables by modify the default database.mysql schema, before you create the default tables.

Shane Birley posted a pre-prefixed database.mysql on http://drupal.org/node/46574#comment-87442 . You can alter the prefix by doing a search & replace on 'prefix' in almost any texteditor.

Note: The file is for Drupal 4.6.5.
