I started trying to install from rpm and that didn't work. I then installed from the binary and that was hell too. All the problems stemmed from the fact that I couldn't figure out where MySQL was installing itself too. I finally was able to find the source and install with that and force it to be where I wanted. I had the feeling that installing MySQL was going to be easy but it isn't all that simple. Maybe thay've made it *too* easy ;) Now, creating users ... what a pain. Jean-Christian Imbeault
