[cobalt-users] (RaQ3) Installation MySQL 3.22.32 Step-by-Step guide

[Peter Batenburg <petertje@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

This is the step by step guide i made for installing mysql on customers 
raq's... I think its really handy, and you got more controll than with 
standard rpm's or pkg files.. this installation has been debugged for about 
1 month now.. so it should work very nicely on a raq3.. if anything fails, 
please let me know.. perl rpm's don't have to be added, but i use a perl 
adddatabase script that needs it.. i'll post the script later.. the tar.gz 
file can be found on www.mysql.org.. rpm's on ftp.cobaltnet.com.. soon i 
will put up a webpage with all files, and guides..
the mysql package will restart automaticly when you reboot...
