    Yes that can be done! Just change the table prefix (so each install has unique prefix) when you install the wordpress applications.

    In the config file you will see the default prefix is set like this:

    $table_prefix = 'wp_'

    So when you do a second install that prefix will need to be different. It will give you the option to change it on install.

    if your blogs are in a dedicated server there is no problem. And one security alert: put the prefix of your wordpress tables ramdon strings. For example: wp_djsdedhudedka_
