Mysql installation

finally 

for anyone interested here’s how i did 

-first i did a system restore and went back to a unmodifed firmware.  so i could start over

i used those two command in putty

apt-get update (not upgrade, NEVER)

and then 

apt-get -f install mysql-server 

(-f stands for fixing)

created a password when prompt appeared

then i rebooted the wdmc (mycloud)

after that i re-opened putty and wrote:

mysql -uroot -p  (-u is for user and -p is for password)

entered password when asked

then i followed these instructions   http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=MySQL/Setting_up_XBMC

launched xbmc and voila!
