Hi, M.
1. Your question belongs on the Joomla Installation Forum. I presume you've read their Installation Guide which, in the typical fashion of Open Source projects, is rather terse and geared to either Linux or Windows users.
You said you 'did check out' their forums, but have you tried posting this question on their forums? I'd suggest that and, if you don't get an adequate response, then perhaps you'd be better served by using a different product.
I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but you should be able to find help from Mac OS X users who've installed Joomla on their Installation Forum.

IMO, Joomla is not a product for you to begin with.
You can try the following apps for free:
- Site Studio It's only US$30.00 to purchase. It's designed for coding in HTML.
- Freeway Express. It's US$89 to purchase and takes a graphical approach to Web design. <a href='http://www.softpress.com/products/freewayprointerf.php'>Freeway Pro</a> offers more functions, but Express may be enough if you're just starting and, if memory serves, you can upgrade from Express to Pro.
If you are a student, you can get pro-level Web Design apps such as <a href=' http://www.adobe.com/products/golive/main.html'>Adobe GoLive CS2 and Dreamweaver at deep educational discounts, e.g. US$100 or less.
Good luck!
