That's true, and will be my next attempt. Reasons I didn't try this in the first place include: the version I downloaded were from the official mysql ab site & I wanted the latest version (I am used to redhat always being several major releases behind - I think redhat 9 is still supplying mysql version 3.something, and I need at least 4.0.11) David ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
