I set up some stuff mnths ago trying to learn to use bacula. I don't really recal what all I might have done. I just zapped /var/lib/mysql and emerge -vC mysql, followed by emrege -vD mysql Once done I followed the advice given: emerge --config =dev-db/mysql-5.0.44-r2" Things are working like expected now. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
