It is. I do it all the time. Our servers run MySQL installed in /home/mysql rather than /usr/local, or /opt. It's been a while since I did a fresh install, but I don't remember having to really jump thru many hoops. cd /home tar -zxvf /tmp/mysql-binary-version.tar.gz ln -s mysql-binary-version mysql cd mysql <setup the db as described in the install docs> Have you tried something like that? If so, what doesn't work? Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
