[support] Miserable Installation Process

[Tom Holmes Jr.]

CentOS release 4.5 (Final) and yes it is linux ....

and so I have to deprecate to Apache 2.0.x .... the requirements on the 
Drupal site specified 2.x ... so I presumed that meant 2.2 as well as 2.0.

I was trying to find the rpm for mysql-devel in order to get the 
libraries installed ....
