I installed WPMU into folder /blogs and the new blogs are being shown as the following
mydomain.com/blogs/blogname
but i want it to appear as mydomain.com/blogname
My site already exists at mydomain.com with an index.php file... can the htaccess file be updated to show new blogs as "mydomain.com/blogname"

Just to rephrase/add... i don't mind the main landing page to be mydomain.com/blogs
but... do I need to reinstall or can I simply keep the installation at mydomain.com/blogs/ and update the .htaccess file to have new blogs appear as mydomain.com/blogname
You need to reinstall with WPMU in the rot. No amount of htaccess magic will make it work the way you want.

i installed and now the subdirectory is giving me a internal 500 error
mydomain.com/blogname (error)
but i am able to login to admin panel with no problems...
something is wrong i guess with rewrite url?
check the permalinks on the main blog. can you access the hello world post? If not, it's mod_rewrite.

Can you provide some insight on what could be wrong with mod_rewrite?
Since my last post, the permanlink option was indicating that .htaccess was not writeable and i changed that and wasn't getting the message again... but the "hello world" post does not resolve when i try to view it.
Then the server is not reading the htaccess file. You need
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
in the vhost entry for that web account. If you have no idea what that is, just email your webhost support tell them your wordpress permalinks aren't working.
