Hi I'm new to Ubuntu (used to Gentoo) and I am searching for the correct way to install newer packages than provided by the installed release of Ubuntu. I need to install MySQL 5 on Ubuntu 5.10. (I can NOT upgrade to Dapper, because the Server doesn't boot after upgrading to Dapper. Suggestions welcome, but thats not the topic here.) Of course I can download the deb-files from mysql.com or from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0/ but what about the various dependencies? Do I have to manually download each dependend package? THX m
Please run Code: apt-get update and then Code: apt-cache search mysql Have a look at the results and install the desired packages like this: Code: apt-get install [I]package1 package2 ...[/I]
