Installation of MySQL server, MySQLdb, Flup, Lighttpd and Django (Debian etch)

Note: I have not tested it as is, I was writing this afterwards from memory, so beware of the errors.

Setting up debian

# logged in as root:  
apt-get install sudo  
adduser joe  
sudoedit /etc/sudoers  
joe ALL=(ALL) ALL # added this line  
  
# Following is done in my own user (joe):  
sudo apt-get upgrade  
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales  
sudo tzselect  
sudo apt-get install build-essential  

Now to the installing Django and others...
