It's possible but it'd require a bit of effort. Install the script normally the first, then manually rename the database tables using something like phpmyadmin, once you've renamed then edit functions.php, around the top you'll see the existing table names like this

Code:


define('NEWS_ARTICLES',        'news30_story');
define('NEWS_USERS',        'news30_users');
define('NEWS_COMMENTS',        'news30_comments');
...

Change them to whatever you've renamed the tables to. After you've done that you can then install the system again and use the same database.
