Fedora setup

Ok, on to setting up FC6. I've installed the base FC6 and picked out the development and MySQL packages. On configuration, I disabled the firewall and SELinux during testing. We'll decide what do about those on deployment.

Next I instaled the VMware tools (thanks for the mouse pointer help here http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/howto/fedora-core-6-vmware-tools-install.html and the vmxnet diver help here http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=556834).

To make sure the two are synchronised I'm planning to setup NTP on the second node pointing to the first one (I found instructions here http://wiki.novell.com/index.php/SUSE_Linux_Enterprise_Server) - but I want to get MySQL configured and running on the master first before I clone the system.
