EllisLab/CodeIgniter — Issue #1152: Extra mysql dependency needed on Ubuntu 10.04

I spend a few hours debugging a problem where CI would give a 500 and no output to the web browser. After busting out gdb and strace and many hours of debugging, I finally chased it down to this missing dependency:

```sudo apt-get install php-mdb2-driver-mysql```

Without this dependency, absolutely no output is sent to the web-browser and CodeIgniter dies without any output just after loading the mysql driver.

I would like to patch the docs to talk about this dependency on Ubuntu. Where should that go?
