Get ncurses. I'm not sure what bits of MySQL-client needs ncurses, but if
you're confident you're not going to use that bit, use The Force (i.e.
specify the force option in rpm. I don't recall what it is offhand, so
you'll have to do rpm --help to find out) If Cobalt don't have a nice
package for ncurses, you might have to get it yourself and build it
yourself.

Pity Cobalt didn't base their stuff on Debian. Apt-get would be handy in
these cases <g>
