I'm running Dell's release of Ubuntu on a 10v netbook.
I installed Apache2, php, and then attempted to install mysql and mysql-
server (mysql-server-5.0), using synaptic. The mysql server failed to
install completely, and cannot be removed, with synaptic,
Ubuntu version and kernel version
I put INITOUTPUT=yes in /etc/default/rcS, and I was able to install
mysql-server (after rebooting) from synaptic - I specifically installed
the metapackage mysql-server. (Again, this is in the netbook version of
hardy 8.04.2 which comes with the Dell 10v netbook).
