I'm not sure why my previous attempt (using a different installer) failed. I was slightly put off by the fact that MySQL seemed to be trying to persuade me to choose a paid option. Also all the documentation refers to setting up a MySQL _server_, while I just want a MySQL client (under Windows). But maybe this is just a matter of the language used by MySQL. While following this document worked, as I said, I don't think it is very good, at least for someone like me who just wants to install a Windows client to access a MySQL database on a Linux server. It seems to be aimed at a completely different audience. Now I'll move on to LDAP ... -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
