This is from cobalt's ftp site:

MySQL+PHP3 on Qube2/RaQ2 RECIPE
===============================

To install MySQL and PHP3 on a Qube2 or RaQ2 system,
install the following 5 RPMs in the order listed below.

Note that you can install these RPMs by telnetting into your system
and running the rpm command as follows:

    rootprompt# rpm -ihv ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/experimental/RPM-NAME

where "RPM-NAME" is the name of the RPM you want to install.

The 5 required RPMs are as follows.  Install them in the order listed.

    MySQL-3.22.21-2C1.mips.rpm
    MySQL-client-3.22.21-2C1.mips.rpm
    MySQL-devel-3.22.21-2C1.mips.rpm
    mod_php3-3.0.7-1C2.mips.rpm
    mod_php3-doc-3.0.7-1C2.mips.rpm

See the file "README.php3" in this directory for information on how
to test the PHP3 installation.

See the file "README.mysql" in this directory for information on
how to compile MySQL (should not be necessary) and information about
floating point problems with MySQL.




obviously - just don't install php if don't want it.
