Re: [cobalt-users] Installing MySQL

[chris <chris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Much easier! :-)

login as root and type

/bin/rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/experimental/MySQL-3.22.21-2C1.mips.rpm
then
/bin/rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/experimental/MySQL-client-3.22.21-2C1.mips.rpm
then
/bin/rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/experimental/MySQL-devel-3.22.21-2C1.mips.rpm

Done!
