Tim, Thanks for your reply. BTW, I fixed the locale problem - no more errors!
I am a little confused about mysql. I created the chroot, and then from within the chroot I issued apt-get install mysql-server. I expected it to just install like any other package in lenny. However, I get this (note I purged mysql-server and mysql-server-5.0, fixed the locale problem, and then did a fresh install of mysql-server, all from within the chroot): [orca:/]# apt-get install mysql-server Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

I can't mount my 64 bit mysql into this 32 bit chroot. I just want a clean install of 32 bit mysql in my 32 bit chroot jail. At this point, I am ready to put myself in a chroot jail! ;-) Mark On Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 6:56 AM, Tim Bruce - PLUG <t...@tbruce.com> wrote: > Mark, > > For mysql, did you look at /var/lib/mysql as well.
