Update on installing mysql on linux

[Levi Campbell]

Okay, I got the RPM package installed but when I use rpm -I 
mysql-server-4.0.20-0.i386.rpm, I am told that I need several files, most of which I 
can't find in the Debian package library. I need the following files: /usr/bin/perl, 
sh-utils and sh, where can I get these?
