I am running SuSe 7.0 and have had the same experience. I think that I
remember reading in the SuSE manual about some standard Linux directory
structure which they are using. I wonder if this is a recent Linux standard
and MYSql.RPm has not
been updated to use this structure. I do not find the files where the books
and manuals tell me to find them. I find them else
where and I did not mess with the install.
