I am trying to make a multi-site install on a local desktop for testing. The first site install went smoothly. But now when adding another site or sub site to the system and following the instruction in documentation, when I point the browser to the new site it shows an index page, when I hit install.php page goes white (Fire Fox) Opra sayes page not available.
Does anyone know how to start the install process on the 2nd site?

Whenever you get a WSOD
Whenever you get a WSOD (White Screen of Death), start by checking your PHP and web server error logs. Often a WSOD happens when the PHP executable dies before it can pass on any useful info to the web server; your web server error log may have a message to that effect if that's what happened.
What does your directory structure look like in your sites directory?

Hmm, are you on shared
Hmm, are you on shared hosting? Come to think of it, you must be, or otherwise you'd probably know where your log files are... On shared hosting you actually might not have access to them...
If you're on shared hosting, your hosting company's tech support folks may be able to help you.

README.txt file
@dj.duncan: When you say "following the instruction in documentation" are you referring to the handbook page or the README.txt file? The README.txt file is the easiest place to start. The handbook can be confusing because to many handbook versions.
The Drupal 6.13 README.txt file can be found at http://groups.drupal.org/node/25456#comment-87849
