Hi all,
I did a upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1 yesterday. And I paste some of my steps
on the following.
1. Use mysqldump to dump all the data to the disk.
2. Backup all the data including mysql system files to a safe place.
3. Remove all the file related to mysql.
4. Install the new 5.1 version.
5. Import the exist data into the new version.
I don't know whether the above is fit for you or not.
