Thanks for the feed back. I didn't know I could make a wiki. Maybe I'll try that. As you said, some steps are not needed in the old guides anymore, and there are some new steps required too (like spells importing, etc).

Problem:
When it comes to page 8 -- "Edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf"
you get the message

Code:

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

Reason:
I am working on the local host rather than doing a net install.

Solution:

Code:

export DISPLAY=:0.0
xhost +LOCAL:

Note: I'm using Ubuntu 8.10

Problem:
Between pages 8 and 9 where the server is reset and then directed to create a MySQL account typing "mysql -u root" returns "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock"

Reason:
MySQL server is not running

Solutions:

Code:

sudo mysqld

Feel free to take the guide, rip it apart, and make a version of it for Ubuntu 8.10. The guide works 100% for Debian, and I am currently unfamiliar with other versions of Linux. Any edits, additions, feedback much welcome

Ubuntu is built on top of Debian, it should work 100%. I'm just making sure before I say that for sure.
