Thanks for the quick response. I will give that a try when I get home. However, what if this does not yield any results? What should I try next? Can I run rpm from any directory? I think if I can find the installation and/or the package, I can get it installed and working. I'm just having trouble with finding where things are. Does rpm have a GUI interface? Thanks.

You need the mysql-server package for actually running the database locally. You can use service mysqld start to start it, and chkconfig --levels=345 mysqld on to make sure it always starts from now on. - -Andy - -- Automatic actions for USB cameras, cardreaders, memory sticks, MP3 players http://warmcat.com/usbautocam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA2yWfjKeDCxMJCTIRAqjPAJ0QSNaev2g2sPEX+23huLtzHQZQUwCfcEe2 CUoYF5NxRSXAA5cBUQHexp8= =nfhe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Above email is for intended recipient only and may be confidential and protected by attorney/client privilege.
