Ron,

I'll get around to publicising my installation notes in a short while, which
should clear this up properly - at the moment I'm tied up at euro oscon, but 
will be back by friday. For basic installation, yes you need ZMySQLDA. You 
will need MySQL 4.1.x, and you will need InnoDb support enabled. We use both 
InnoDb and MyISAM tables in the database. You will need to create the database
beforehand, as well as a user to connect to the database. You will also need 
to grant permissions to that user to write to the database.

The test suite does contain code to set up MySQL, given the mysql root user,
and I'll try and use that to extend setupdb.py later on to cover both postgres
and MySQL.

Oh, and the crystal ball is optional, but it does help!

Regards,
Kevin
