You can afterwards the installation specify the path to the data in the "my.cnf" config file.

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.
