I didn't hit any Mandrake web pages either; I just simply used the URPMI repositories that I have set up for years with this distro. The highest MySQL offered was 4.0.2. I gotta believe this distro, now 3 years old, is no longer supported but I don' have any proof of this. As an aside, I think this is one of the biggest reasons Linux has a hard time on the desktop (which the server versions have largely fixed). Too many distros, too many dependencies, making life *way* too hard for folks like you just trying to support your own product. Makes you want to just say, "we support RHEL 3.x and above" and call it a day... -- mbonsack ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mbonsack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44170 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
