I got Base working from a MySQL server, but not its native database. 
Working from the MySQL server makes db/table creation fast and easy,
but my install (Fedora 4-test-3) fails horribly and dies whenever I
try to create a form or report.

I'm going to upgrade to FC4 tonight, then use Base to cook up a DB.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Is there something specific I can do? More importantly, can I collect
a code bounty for it through the Summer of Code program?  As I am a
student, that would be swell.
