I'm currently setting up MySQL 4.1.2 on RHEL 4.1 and I have found the

Basedir=/var/lib
To
Basedir=/other/path
Will that move the actual data files that have all my databases? Do I need
No, MySQL will simply go there looking for files as it starts, if it
don't find any, it will crash. MySQL needs at least the mysql database
to work.
to move any of the things that are in /var/lib over to the new path or just
the data files of my databases?
If you're not changing versions, move the whole dir (/var/lib/mysql)
to the new location, simple as that, but you must do it yourself,
cause MySQL won't.
