Update on five minute install - see comments of May 2. WorpPress is now installed on my localhost a ThinkPad T22 running Slackware Linux / GNU 12.0 … In the meantime I learned a lot about MySQL and Apache as well as getting PHP to run with Apache. I’m thrilled at how easy this all is. My purpose is to try out different WordPress features before presenting them to all the world. I’ll let y’all know as soon as there is a publicly available blog….

My famous 5 min. install? Grab the tar.gz file, then struggle to get MySQL running on my own computer so I can run WordPress as a MySQL task. MySQL presents me with a 1,900 page manual. Now I’ve got MySQL server running, but can’t yet create the blog database. Every day brings some progress. Meanwhile I’ve got the domain name and have selected a Linux friendly hosting company. Also meanwhile I got your book on Wed now I’m 2/3 through it. All of your info is available elsewhere but I’m very happy that I bought your book. Greetings from Sacratomato.

I upgraded to 2.5.1 too. But it’s Ajax image uploader crashes Firefox (2.1.4 on Kubuntu). What’s the best workaround so far?
