got it working:

myserver [/etc/phpmyadmin] # vi config.inc.php
<?php
$i = 0;
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; // MySQL hostname or IP address
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = ''; // MySQL port (leave blank for
default port)
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http'; // Authentication method: config,
http, or cookie
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; // MySQL password
?>

myserver [/usr/share/phpmyadmin] # vi phpinfo.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

For some reason the default phpinfo.php does not work - just returns a blank
page.

Getting the correct packages installed was half the battle... understanding the
Debian packaging system (apt, aptitude, dpkg, dselect) and knowing how to
configure everything with all the Debian Etch platform-specific peculiarities...
all without documentation.
