All the recent chatter on the list has prompted me to check out the
latest version via CVS.  The install/setup is still a royal PITA, as my
MySQL server is remote.  It took me a while to remember how to get it
working, so can I suggest the following changes (hand-diff):

File:

Obs/Defs.pm

 use constant DB_DB => 'obs';
 use constant DB_USER => 'obs';
+use constant DB_HOST => 'localhost';
 use constant DB_PASSWD => '0B$';
 use constant DB_PORT => 3306;
!use constant DSN => 'dbi:mysql:' . Obs::Defs::DB_DB . ":" .
Obs::Defs::DB_HOST;


File:

install-db.pl

!    $server = "localhost" unless $db ne '';
     $db = "obs" unless $db ne '';
     $user = "obs" unless $user ne '';


Of course, these are only the changes I had to make to get it to work. 
It would be good if 'server' were a question that gets asked.


One more thing -
  What can be done to make the web interface faster?  I see that
somebody loves perl-CGI (why everbody doesn't use PHP, I'll never
understand) - my 486 crawls when using the web interface.  The changes
to checkboxes in the playlists looks like it would help, but this isn't
done that often.

Thanks,
Christopher
