As to reproducible, a stalled installation which appears to have 
completed is outside my experience.  I changed to the other release in 
the archive but found the vendor had changed the software to be 
supported, gpsdrive, has changed to sqlite.  However, so many bugs have 
arisen there as to make further exploration more trouble than it is worth.

I can only suggest the first install of mysql 5.0 from the archive may 
fail on a EEE 900A when Postgresql, Mapnik, and Gpsdrive have already 
been installed.  I was obliged to use a trick to reset the root password 
in order to get into mysql if that helps any.

Regards, Bruce Johnson
