I am having the same issue has this been resolved? I have looked on the forum but I can not see any solution, perhaps I have missed it.
I was able to get this to work by doing the following steps:
Select "No" for the FTP Layer Installation
Skipping the "Install Sample Data" selection
Then I completed the installation and I was able to copy the configuration to my configuration file and the home page showed up with no data.
I accessed phpMyAdmin
I opened the Joomla dB and uploaded the SQL for the sample data from my pc:
/installation/sql/mysql/sample_data.sql
I accessed the admin page and went to Global Configuration->Server
Here I updated the FTP settings
In order to save the data you might have to make the configuration.php file writable first
After saving, Joomla was able to use the FTP access (it seems). I changed the configuration.php back to unwritable, and I was still able to update my configuration.
At first I tried to install the 1.0.12 version of Joomla and had lots of issues with file permissions but now even though directories are unwritable it seems that this version works better, I was able to install it!!
Hope this helps!
