I hate to keep picking on you, Morten, but what is the purpose of your adding "hostname localhost" to the instructions for installing the mysql port? --Jimbo 02:47, 2 Sep 2005 (EDT)
It is a well known trick to ensure good build of MySQL, otherwise you should mention that it is important to have good working DNS settings.
[edit] makes sense
makes sense. added back in with explanation. please don't just blindly stick things in without explaining them, though. =) --Jimbo 09:22, 2 Sep 2005 (EDT)
[edit] that's common for a lot of programs actually
a lot of programs/unixes work much better if they can resolve right away -- solaris installs for example, go much smoother (and since a solaris manual install is like 40 miles of bad road, you want as smooth as possible....) if they can resolve the hostname (or if they can get it via DHCP).
