no, sorry. That won't work either. (You may have come across this before from me - I have posted it a couple of times.) Months ago, I attempted to install MythTV and all it's addons. When it got about half way through the installation process, it asked for configuration; for a MySQL database. I didn't really know what it was, thought it was some kind of online subscription or something. Recently discovered it was something actually on my computer - except it hadn't been in the dependencies list for MythTV when it was installing. So I _still_ have a half installed MythTV, and no MySQL. I can't install or remove anything. I tried installing MySQL through source (or whatever it is when it isn't a .deb - basically unarchiving a gzip and using the make commands etc), but my computer has NEVER liked that process. I would be hugely pleased if this could be fixed, although I am due to build a new pc soon.

The options for installing stuff are really the package manager or building it from source. Just to encourage my laziness in not going looking for previous threads: what is the output from aptitude when you ask it to install stuff (or remove mythTV)?
