I guess you can install the tarball in /usr/local. You will then have a directory called something like mysql-standard-4.0.17-pc-linux-i686. Make a symlink to it call mysql so you will have /usr/local/mysql Inside that directory remove the data directory, and make a symlink called data to the directory where you have your databases for the old installation. When the new database is up and running you need to run mysql_fix_privilege_tables since there has been some changes since 3.23 This is a *very* rough description that may not suit you setup, but it should give you some ideas. See the README and INSTALL-BINARY files in the tarball. Regards, Arne -- -------------------------------- Arne K.
