Hi there, I quite like Aqua Data Studio (dev-db/aqua-data-studio). I've used it on Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL databases and it works nicely. Of course it might not be what you want at all, and it doesn't have anything MySQL-specific. HTH, Chris On 23 Jan 2005, at 19:22, Stoian Ivanov wrote:

No. If you have no .config file you just copy it from another kernel directory and then run make oldconfig. If you have one already you can back it up if you want otherwise it won't make a difference. On Sun, 23 Jan 2005, Francisco Ares wrote: > AFAIK, you have to rename your old ".config"
