Installing on SUSE

In addition to the third-party repositories below, you also need either the Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server install DVD or access to the SLES10-SP2-Pool, SLES10-SP2-Updates, and SLES10-SP2-SDK software repositories. These repositories are only available if you have registered your installation with Novell. We cannot provide access to these repositories.

Type (or copy and paste) the following lines to create the necessary repositories:

 zypper -v sa http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database/SLE_10/ MySQL

 zypper -v sa http://repo.mindtouch.com/SLE_10/ MindTouch
