Hi... I am new to MySql and I have a couple of questions. First, I am assuming that one needs root priviledge to install the DB Server on Solaris for example. Second, I looked at the manual and searched for any recommendations about the machine requirements for running the DBServer but couldn't find anything useful in this regard. What is the needed free diskspace and the memory also. Thanks alot. Any help is greatly appreciated. Abdel-Hameed. ECE dept.
