Hi gabbel,

a recent non-suppressable urge to update my MBL firmware left me with
no SBS installed anymore. Should have known … *sigh*

Anyways–thus i was given the chance to re-evaluate the issue whether
the installation of the additional mysql-packages was necessary.

Two paths were tried:
1. Using the instructions provided by the Slimdevices Wiki[1]
2. Using your instructions but trying to skip the mysql installation

Path 1 led to no good state: The Slimdevices server who was said to
have the Packages available did not have PPC Binaries ready anymore.
You may take the status message at the top of the wiki page literally:
"This page needs editing. It may contain […] outdated information."
It would have been too easy …

Path 2 worked in the end but with surprising results, but see for
yourself:
First I downloaded the current DEB-Package and dpkg'd it. And there she
blowed: Unresolved dependencies. So your instructions were all perfectly
fine and I shouldn't have asked in the first place.
The rest of the night was spent firing up aptitude (Sorry, but as a
designer I have to check out every available GUI first :) ), hassling
with the Resolver who wanted to remove the partially installed SBS,
hating the resolver, selecting the mysql-server and
libmysqlclient-dev-packages (mysql-client was already installed,
presumably by MBL-default) manually for installation–et voilà–finally
having my good old (correction: freshly installed) SBS back on duty.

Pheuuuw.

One thing is clear in the end: Please leave your instructions
as-is–they are perfectly fine as long as the Slimdevices distro server
does not provide the missing PPC package anymore.

Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge with us!
