It's been a very long time since I've had to ask a question on a mailing
list. The answer is either in the docs already, or on some mailing list
archives. You just have to be willing to spend 4-8 hours (or more)
doing some research.
If you think that that's too much, consider this:
Time for you to research: 8 man hours
Well, I cannot research on a production server. If it was a simple issue
like reconfiguring some service, I would have gone through with it. But
something as critical as re-installing a supposedly installed db? Noooo!
Time for you to write the mail: 5-10minutes
Time for one list member to read the mail: 5minutes
Time for all 1016 list members to read the mail: 83 man hours
What's more expensive?
Since you're at the topic, how much time do you think it will take for
me to intimate RH about my issue, for them to analyze it, research it
and then for them to reply?
If you look through I posted some meaningful comments in my earlier
response to the thread, still if you dont get it, then I can lead you
to a much better practical solution.
How bout you paying me INR 1000 and I shall install latest MySQL for
your server ( It cant get any cheaper than showing crazy ROI numbers on
Hours spent)
This way you save a lot of time on fruiteless discussions.
