I take this to mean that you want to installations of MySQL operating on the same data. That, I believe, could get quite messy, if it's even possible.
If you only want to transfer your MySQL files to the Linux box, that's easy. Just back up the tables an re-load them. See the section of the manual linked below. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Disaster_Prevention.html Edward Dudlik Becoming Digital www.becomingdigital.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Mansfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, 10 June, 2003 04:24 Subject: Dual boot system I have MySQL installed on a WinXP box, on drive C. Recently, I've installed Linux on the same machine - dual boot, as one does. Linux is sitting on a second HD on which I created a windows partition, seen to Linux as /share and to Windows as D:, in order to share data between the two systems. It is possible to move the current data being used by the Windows MySQL to the D: partition and make this usable by MySQL regardless of what operating system I'm using? I've started looking through the manual, but it's a big manual and I'd appreciate some pointers. I assume both installations of MySQL will have to be configured to look on /share AKA D: for data. So, any tips would be appreciated... a+ Steve -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
