If you read thru more about the reasons for recommendation for
installing thru RPM, you'll understand. Since the folks who built RPMs
have definitely spent lot of time building the RPMs which is optimized
for performance. I do trust them and commend their efforts.
The source definitely gives you more options and flexibility. It's
entirely your choice.

Hi all
I was just getting thru the documentation of MySQL at the mysql.com
site and there it is specified that
The recommended way to install MySQL on Linux is by using an RPM file
Can anyone tell me in what way it is different installing mysql from the
rpm's and from the source code ??
except that if we install from the source code it is a bit tedious where as
with the rpm it is convineint. Are there any reasons other than this ??
i for one feel that installing from the source gives us a lot of options and
flexibility
thanx in advance.
cheers !!
