Ok thanks for this quick answer =) But, when i type what you told, i got the following error [root@portailDEM ~]# yum install mysql-server You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing. However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download the keys for packages you wish to install and install them. You can do that by running the command: rpm --import public.gpg.key For more information contact your distribution or package provider.

Correct. Install the server as follows: # yum install mysql-server Have it start at every boot: # chkconfig mysqld on Start it now: # service mysqld start Paul. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
