latin1 works perfectly fine on MySQL 4.1 and 5.0 too, so, if you were using latin1 before, you should (must) continue to use it for things to not break, or you will have to convert your databases to utf8 which is the default for the 4.1/5.0 series on Gentoo. To maintain the latin1 charset as default even when using 4.1/5.0, simply enable the "latin1" USE flag on the 4.1/5.0 ebuild, et voila: you have a latin1 MySQL install! -- Best regards, Luca Longinotti aka CHTEKK LongiTEKK Networks Admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Dev: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SysCP Dev: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TILUG Supporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
