MySQL on Sol10

Working with Shaun, we managed to get MySQL installed and running on the Solaris 10 machine, cook, that we had built during a previous staff development project.
After downloading the package for Solaris 10, Troy assisted us with the package install:

• pkgadd -R /a1 -d mysql.pkg

Which installed the downloaded mysql package starting with /a1 as the root (rather than default /) since it installs in usr/local, /usr/local/ being a mounted network drive, not local. It's now installed in /a1/usr/local/.
