Hi,

I am away that this book is available, and we are trying to purchase it,
but it will need to be delivered.

installed

I did exactly what the instructions told me to do.  I downloaded and
extracted the tarball.  Configured, make and make install.  Was there
more I need to do to configure it with mysql?

>  make sure the right calls are in it.

Not sure what this means!!!

Where do I find these myriads of front-ends?

For sys admin users.

dates
etc are within those ranges. 

Where do I find these.

I have been to the archives and back.  I have searched countless hours
for some better examples of installing this process using MySql on
Fedora.  

Thanks
