I have no experience with mysql debs, but apt works this way: apt-cache search mysql should give you a list of packages that are related to mysql. These look interesting: mysql-client - mysql database client binaries mysql-common - mysql database common files (e.g. /etc/mysql/my.cnf) mysql-doc - mysql database documentation mysql-server - mysql database server binaries php3-cgi-mysql - Mysql module for PHP3 (cgi) php3-mysql - Mysql module for PHP3 (apache) php4-mysql - MySQL module for php4 www-mysql - a WWW interface for the TCX mySQL database php4-cgi-mysql - MySQL module for php4-cgi <among lots of others> If you like some, you can install it with: apt-get install mysql-common mysql-client php4-mysql it is possible that more packages will be installed to saticfy dependencies. To remove: apt-get remove mysql-client It is as easy as that. Greetz, Sebastiaan
