ye, the database server is a very easy install.
just 3 programs needed:
-mysql
-vmware srv
-teh cron
but: nothing can run without it (exept maybe the gameserver)
and when you are remote and your kvm over IP card is not supported by the os from cd:
goodnight.
sure theres still possibilities (network boot from lan or loading some floppy iso in the kvm card) but everything is just half the funny and takes tripple the time.
