386 version of MCE, on top of a brand new installation of Kubuntu 7.10, finds a dependency problem with mysql-server.  The installation log has:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   mysql-server:  Depends: mysql-server-5.0 but it is not installable
E:  Broken packages

ERROR:  Failed to install mysql-server

I did not update the Kubuntu installation after installation as the instructions did not dictate.
This has occurred on multiple attempts.

Thanks for any help??????

What version of linuxmce are you trying to install?

I am trying to install 7.10.  I meant to say Kubuntu 7.10.  My mistake and I have corrected it.

Try a different mirror. 

Some mirror sites have broken links. 

You'll fail mysql early in the unpacking process with mirror problems. 

You can save yourself a lot of time by putting your .iso files on your hard drive and selecting them during MCE installation. 

If you hit a bad mirror you won't need to re-cache the MCE and Kubuntu image disks. 

Just re-run the installer and select another mirror.

Hope this helps. :)

Yes, I had cached the .iso images already.  Thanks for the help.  I'll give it another try.
