Hello List:

Here comes a newbie's newbie!!

I want to install MySQL 5.0.0 on a machine with RAID. It has the following
hardware/Software configuration:

DISTRO: RH9
1-Disk which has all the software installed.
2-Disks, which are RAID1 format with one folder "/data"

I plan to use the RAID for data only. I am trying to install Source
5.0.0-alpha version of MySQL. I am not sure how to go about installing. I
have two chain of thought:

(1) Install MySQL at "/usr/local" as suggested in the Source installation
directive, but install the MySQL data on the RAID disk ("/data" folder) -or-

(2) Install the entire MySQL package on the RAID disk.

If my explanation needs better explanation, I will be more than happy to do
it. I prefer the (1) method but I have no idea how I can install just data
on the RAID disk? I think the "./configure" statement needs additional
directive, but what?

I have reviewed the information on the MySQL web site under Source
installation page. There are 4-5 notes from people. Please shoe me the way.

Thanks in advance.

Kirti
