I was hoping to use the RPM distribution to install MySQL on my Linux machine. However, I notice that it sets the data directory to /var/lib/mysql ... This is unacceptable for my purposes... I know I can probably use a link to fix this, but I'd rather do it the "right" way... How do I tell mySQL where the data directory is? Is this a compiled option?
