I'm using Slackware GNU/Linux 9.0 on an Intel PII 266 machine that's SMP
capable, but only with one CPU installed, and 64MB of RAM. It's
basically a small test system that I play around with in some free time
before installing things on my larger systems.
I am trying to do a fresh install of MySQL
Make sure your firewall isn't blocking port 3306 (the default tcp port)
on localhost (127.0.0.1). Firewalls DO matter.
