This is what I have on Fedora 1. MySQL-client-4.0.15-0 MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.15-0 MySQL-server-4.0.15-0 MySQL-python-0.9.1-9 I dont quite remember but I believe you have to compile the MySQL-python package. But I dont think so. :) The problem is I believe that MySQL-python doesnt support the newer MySQL, 4.1 I believe. Hope this help, Conrad
