If not, I recommend you use the RH update utility. up2date (requires root privileges) and then just choose MySQL from the list of items. Then installing it is as simple as clicking finish. Good luck and kind regards PS: if you prefer commandline utilities, you might interest yourself in apt-get See www.apt-get.org (it says it's for debian but I use it for my Fedora Core which is RedHat anyway) Once you've installed it, installing any package is as simple as typing (example for mysql) apt-get install mysql it will download the packages and perform the installation (note: root privileges required) Andy -- --- Registered Linux user number 379093 --- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
