Well, I managed to sort it myself after all - much easier than I thought. I
made a copy of all my datafiles to D:/mysql/data. In the my.ini file on
Windows I set:
datadir = D:/mysql/data
In the my.cnf file on Linux I set:
datadir = /share/mysql/data (or something like that - running WinXP at the
mo' so can't check).
And that was it! And I thought computing was difficult. The next challenge
is getting Apache & MySQL to start up at boot time in Linux. The manual
talks about /etc/rc.d but SuSE uses /etc/init.d and a bunch of
sub-directories for different run levels, all of which is making my head
spin right now. But I'll get there...
