I am updating docs/manual/mysql.tex and I see some things which we
might be able to remove. In particular, I wonder if we can safely
remove this:
###
Bacula has been tested on MySQL version 4.1.12 and works providing
you are running it in the default installation that is compatible
with MySQL 3.23.x. If you are using one of the new modes such
as ANSI/ISO compatibility, you may experience problems.
###
Is the ANSI/ISO issue still applicable?
Which will leave just this:
If you use the ./configure \verb:--:with-mysql=mysql-directory
statement for
configuring {\bf Bacula}, you will need MySQL version 4.1 or later
installed in the {\bf mysql-directory
Comments? Ideas? Suggestions?
