Question

I can install MYSQL on Ubuntu without prompts with the code below:

dbpass=\"mydbpassword\"
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
echo mysql-server-5.1 mysql-         


        

Answer 1

you can always do normal installation and then script:

• killing mysql server
• starting it with skip-grant-tables
• adjusting passwords
• killing the temporarily started mysql without authentication
• starting regular mysql
