 Also, if password is present in the lilo.conf, lilo complains unless the

hi all,

I'm looking for a mysql 4.0.1 max alpha mdk rpm.
I found rpm for redhat.

I know that mandrake derive from redhat.
Can i use theme to install this soft into my mandrake 8.1 distrib.

I really need this version of mysql beacause of some fulltext features.

If i can't use these redhat rpm how can i do ?
Where can I find such a version of mysql ?
I had to manage a src install of mysql...


thanks.

No the password stuff in lilo/grub is inactive. What make you think
something is done by libmsec ?

In mdk 8.1, msec was removing and adding password to the lilo.conf that was 
causing grief.  Pixel made a change to Drakx that compensated for it. 

So when I encountered problems with password and restricted this time around 
I  grep'd msec for password.  Up came a hit on libmsec and an inspection of 
the file showed that there was some code in place for deleting password from 
lilo.conf.  Since changing msec levels up and down at the console did not 
generate any messages indicating msec was modifying lilo.conf, I thought I 
would ask if it was active and to point out that the code that is in place 
has a potential problem if it were to be activated.

regards
Dave
