So it turns out that the RPM install didn't work nor did the binary version
but by rebuilding the source with a
configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --- Well, that worked in the end. I
still don't know why but there it is. :)
Just thought I'd post my experience.

So I'm a little confused here
I've installed mysql-standard-4.0.20-pc-linux-i686.tar to
/usr/local/mysql and then ran the scripts/mysql_install_db with
seemingly no errors.
After reading section 5.1 'the MySQL Server and Server Startup Scripts'
I figured that
cd /usr/local/mysql
the 'bin' directory, all the files are group 'mysql' and
all have 'rx' for group. This seems to make sense to me.
