As just "another technical user" I feel the client/server flags would a killer feature. I have several Gentoo desktops, some mildly slow, and a number of servers. On all of the desktops I was mysql support to talk to my servers. It has always annoyed me that I have to install the server too, it's such a pointless waste of time and space. If the client is always built, and the server too with the default flags no-one would know the difference until they went and turned server support off. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/p4RxInuLMrk7bIwRAidsAJ0ZaUfEtG1M7dC/k3dQEvaWnwdrdACghK9i yjcnp6zW14KKVHLPyyXb8jo= =ES/J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
