Dump your database BEFORE the upgrade. Document all the requirements of your current MySQL environment -- php, perl, etc etc. You can probably use this out of development (I use it everyday without any issue) - http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/mysql-5.0.18-1.i386.rpm However, if you want to standardized migration then use the download rpms for source off the MySQL site and rebuild all the code yourself: MySQL Apache and PHP (and Perl BD requirements, etc.) Building from source at times seems a hard task but is quite easy once you get the hang of it. Probably better to just download the FC rpms if you are not completely sure. -- WC -Sx- Jones | http://ccsh.us/ | Open Source Consulting
