- Setup any Expense sub-accounts, these need to be defined prior to importing the QIF as theres a bug in the QIF importer.

I've been involved with Linux since around the 2.0.2x series kernels in around November 1996. Admittedly I was of pure hacker-mentality had no real idea of what it would take to run a business that depended on the desktop to perform it's duties, such as printing, saving, loading/retrieving, web-browsing, network file system connectivity. I was just happy to be able todo interesting stuff with my TCP stack and write my own software without having to fork-out big dollars for the experience.

Looks like the mysql system tables were missing on my fresh install of Debian Lenny on my Acer Aspire 5520 laptop.

just run mysql_install_db , after this you'll need to get your mysql debian credentials back in line, these are usually stored under /etc/mysql/ (this is so mysqladmin etc will work again)


/usr/bin/mysql_install_db

This probably means that your libc libraries are not 100 % compatible
