First suggestion is to dump postnuke: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/04/msg02589.html There is a good reason it was removed from Debian. Second suggestion is to dump MySQL: http://openacs.org/philosophy/why-not-mysql.html There are many good reasons not to use MySQL. I understand that it is starting to change somewhat, but even that will really not happen until 5.0, and possibly, 5.1 are released. When you dump MySQL, I would recommend switching to PostgreSQL. Their docs are absolutely amazing. Read them and understand what you are doing, then go about choosing a graphical tool to help you. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
