[patch_done] Installing 7.0.1 Beta in Lazarus 1.0.4

Since Lazarus 1.0.4 does not come with support for MySQL 5.5 and I'm not willing to wait, I want to use the Zeos libraries. I downloaded the zip file and was looking for install instructions, and I found a PDF that was last updated in 2008, and Lazarus specific instructions that mention a menu (Components) I can't find.

What are the install instructions for this? I did a search of the forums and nothing stands out.

Thanks in advance!

I managed to make it work, but the README.TXT file needed changes so I made them. See attachment.

Readme changed in testing7.1 branch (rev. 2101). Will be backported to 7.0-patches in a few weeks.
