Looks simple.
The books I was looking at were saying MySQL was in /usr/local/mysql
Ok, I am also relatively new to Linux, so knowing where things are at,
brings some comfort that I can find what I need to.
Please bottom post, Joseph.
If you install MySQL from the source tarball using the defaults:
# configure
# make
# make install
it ends up in /usr/local/mysql. If you build it so that it looks native
to the system:
# configure --prefix=/
# make
# make install
it ends up the way it's distributed in Red Hat and FC1.

I am getting up to speed on MySQL. The folder locations for MySQL that
are used by FC1 don't match those mentioned in my MySQL books. Does
anyone know of a document that describes the details of the
configuration FC1 uses for the MySQL provided in the distro?
Thanks

/usr/share/doc/mysql-3.23.58/
But which folder locations do you mean? There is /var/lib/mysql where
the DBs reside and where the socket is stored. The my.cnf is in /etc as
normal and the pid file is created in /var/run/mysqld. Nothing mystique
at all.
