client only for Win98

client only for Win98

I have a small LAN with my workstation (Win98SE), a Win/2000 system and
a Linux system. I have MySQL servers running on the last two systems
and I want to put the client software on the workstation. Is there a
separate package for just client or do I need to install the whole
client/server setup?

There is no separate client-only package for a pre-built binary package
for Windows.

You can download the source and build the client yourself (though I
don't have experience doing this on Windows), or you can install the
whole package and just ignore the server binary.

On Win98, you can't install it as a service anyway, you'd have to run it
manually as a console app. So just don't start the MySQL Server binary,
and you'll be set.
