Michael -
Thank you for your patience! I had forgotten about that part of the
install...been a long time I needed to do an install...nice part of
Linux. However, I am trying to move my RH 9 system to Centos 4.1 and
everything has gone well until I though I could just copy the mysql db
into the new server.
I looked in the manual to find out how to completely move a MySQL
installation from one server to another and did not find any information
(or overlooked it somehow). Moving the individual db's has not been a
problem using the suggested mysqldump.
Any suggestions?
And thank you again!

My data is backed up, so that is not a problem, but I cannot
reinstall MySQL and create the mysql directory with the control
tables (e.g. user, db, host). I have run "yum remove mysql" and "yum
install mysql" and "yum install mysql-server" and the control files
are not recreated.
Any suggestions?

By "MySQL control tables", it appears you mean the mysql db. Is it
really the case that your backup process skips the mysql db? If so,
you ought to fix that for the future.
If you cannot restore your mysql db from backup, you can create a new
one with installation defaults by running mysql_install_db. You
should read the manual for the details
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/unix-post-installation.html>. In
particular, note that the root users will have no password, and two
anonymous users will be created. Be sure to follow the directions
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/default-privileges.html> to assign
passwords to the root accounts. Also, you should probably delete the
anonymous users, unless you have a very good reason to keep them.
