If you have the FC mysql distribution already installed you should find a manual at:
/usr/share/doc/mysql-<your version>
that should be a help.

I've been using the "notes" feature a lot with files (activated via the right mouse button on any icon.) Yet when I backup files I have tagged in this way (actually using scp) I lose the notes! Where are these "notes" stored? Is there some way of backing them up along with the files? Thanks for the help! --Jerry

Is this 'notes' thing a feature of your desktop? If so, what desktop are you using? This is not a general Linux (or Fedora) feature.

Its present in Gnome at least on F8 and f7 too if i remember right. Right
click on a file and select properties and there is a notes tab.

That is interesting. I wonder why I never (and others obviously as well) have noticed this feature before. Seems very useful.

I'm using gnome. I thought there might be hidden files containing these notes. But least one directory that has a lot of files I've tagged in this way doesn't contain any hidden files at all.

You might look into where or how the file properties are stored, this may give you a clue as to where all the notes have gone or might be found.

This may be relevant :
http://www.imc.org/ietf-822/mail-archive/msg05882.html
A quick scan reveals that it may be the file metadata that you are after and that it is not always carried over when copying files with certain programs/utilities.
One suggestion is to tar the files(zip them up) and then copy them, this may preserve the metadata you need. Good Luck.

It's most likely they're in a hidden file in the directory where the files are I would guess.

This is a function of nautilus, and so the data in the notes are stored in the nautilus database. ie: ~/.nautilus/metafiles
specifically: file:%2F%2F%2Fparent_directory%2Fdirectory.xml
Good Luck!

Try "Teach Yourself SQL in 10 minutes" by Ben Forta. Forta's web site www.forta.com has example files and scripts that can be downloaded and installed to run the book examples. Some of them apply to MySQL.
Does Linux, or more specifically the Gnome desktop, have a widget like the one in Windows that associates file extensions with applications so that, for example, when I double-click on a ".txt" file it opens in my favorite text editor? Do file extensions have any significance in Linux? Thanks for the help! -- Jerry

Linux is much more clever than that. So far as I know it takes no notice of file name extensions. It looks at the header information inside the file itself.
For instance, today I copied in an old file that was originally prepared using Word Perfect under windoze. Hovering over the file in konqueror the bar at the bottom tells me that it knows it is a Word Perfect file. Changing the file name extension from wpd to doc makes no difference - it still knows that this is a Word Perfect file. This one is a very simple file, but Open Office opens it just fine and displays all the text in it very nicely, thanks very much.

I am not sure what the "GUI" (e.g. gnome) use to identify applications.
As to file types, the standard from a command window is to use the "file" utility, as in file someFileName The file utility uses a traditional file identification system known as the "magic" system. This system has been enhanced over the years, but basically reads a certain number of bytes from the beginning of a file and then uses a pattern matching technique against a list of patterns. The first match then identifies the type of file.
On a machine here, the patterns are in the file /usr/share/file/magic. It is interesting to browse that file. Also man magic in a command window gives further information.
Does anyone know whether the desktops (e.g. gnome) are using this infrastructure (the "magic" system) or have implemented an independent system for linking applications to files?
Also, I presume that, even if the "magic" system is used to identify the file type, there must be somewhere in the gnome (or other desktop) infrastructure that ties an actual application to a file type, e.g. OpenOffice word processor to word perfect files. Does anyone know where that linkage is done?

Yes they do. For example if I look at my hoem directory in nautilus and I right click on a .doc file I am asked: Open with Open Office.org Writer or: Open with another application.
That was we can associate an extension with an application.
To change this association highlight an icon. Then Choose the properties under File option.

This is generally a MIME thing. Your DE will determine a MIME type associated with the file based on the file's headers (or extension if necessary) and look up what application is associated with that MIME type. I'm not sure if you're using Gnome or KDE, but there is a standard way of doing this that you can read about here: http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/mimetypes-registering.html
I believe that these settings can also be configured using gconf with Gnome.

It looks like many things actually check the file type, but will fall back to using the file name, if it had no luck. Others have provided some answers as to how to change an association, or which one is the default. Right-clicking a file, bringing up the properties dialogue, allows one to change the "open-with" preferences for that type of file, presuming that something does distinguish that type of file from others. I've found plain text files to be a bit of problem.
e.g. You might want VIM to open most of them, but a music player to open a playlist, by default. I had to manually add #EXT3MU to the top of the playlist files to get separate defaults for each.

In GNOME, using Nautilus:
Right click on icon -> Properties -> Open With (tab) -> Select application

My old CRT monitor burned out and I've replaced it with a ViewSonic VG2030WM, which has a resolution of 1680 X 1050 @ 60Hz. Kudzu (or whatever configures new hardware) set it to 1280 X 1024 & 60Hz, which works fine, although everything is a little larger than I want. The monitor model isn't listed in system-config-display so I've set this to the generic "LCD Panel 1680 X 1050". But when under "Display Settings" I set the resolution to 1680 X 1050, the next time I try logging in or rebooting the monitor hangs the system. Exactly how I get around this isn't clear -- sometimes the system goes back to 1280 X 1024 after several attempts to reboot, and once I got the screen back by starting to type something at the command line login prompt that appears briefly before X starts.
The problem is not with the monitor, as it works fine with the recommended resolution of 1680 X 1050 when I bring up the dual booting Windows XP system.
Any suggestions at how to proceed to get a higher resolution on this monitor with FC6 and a gnome desktop? Thanks for the help.

I have a A70 hooked up; I -think- what helped me, was to tell FC6 what monitor I'm using. I noticed there's two monitor options available (screen res and the other). The other should help; I have one foot out the door right now, otherwise I'd look up the option. Sorry!

I think the two options are System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution and System -> Administration -> Display. The ViewSonic VG2030WM is not included in the Display -> Hardware -> Monitor Type so I've been using the generic "LCD Panel 1680X1050". Is there some other way I can tell FC6 and X exactly what monitor I have or at least get a higher resolution?

This is a video card setup issue more than a monitor issue as such.
