Hi herbjohnson Very good question, but I can't answer it. For me it was also a tryout to install the SBS on the MyBook live and I did it from my old instructions for the guruplug I used before. This is the reason why I never tested if mysql-server is realy needed. If I find the time nextly, then I will reset my box to factory settings by reccovering from image. Then I can test if the mysql-server is needed or not. The image I took right after I bought the box and before upadating the firmware. Maybee I will upload the Original Factoryimage to a Filehoster in case someone want's to recover his box too (WARNING ALL DATA WILL BE LOST! BY DOING A RECOVER FROM IMAGE). -- gabbel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gabbel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46089 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84735
