Have you read the doc I sent to the list ?

The automated update tool, URPMI, often adds things that are not really necessary, but does because that is the way that Mandrake have specified the library dependencies, just in case, some bright spark decides to use the most obscure function that 99% of users would never have to use in the first place. One can always criticize package distribution, but I would say that URPMI does a fairly good job on the whole. I'm not an advanced user by any means, but have been using Mandrake for around 6 years now, and MySQL ODBC database access for more than four years, so it is true that I've been through most of the gotchas in geting it up and running. If you have read John McCreesh's document, and then read mine, the combination of the two might help you along some, since mine is Mandrake specific. Anyway, good luck, and keep us posted.
