It should be easy to update the MySQL adapter to a recent version for a 
recent
Zope version.

Requirements were written for a clear purpose: they tell you the minimum
requirements to run a system. I *doubt* that Plone runs with Zope 2.5 which 
is
*old* and afaik this was never a Zope version supported by Plone (at least 
not for
Plone 2).

Install a recent MySQL DA. If you have problems with this part then give us
a *detailed* description what goes wrong including error messages etc.
(but in this case the CMF list the wrong place for DA related questions).
