The easy way I've always used is to change the name of the /var/lib/mysql
directory and make a symbolic link to another directory.  You need to
reset up the mysql database and check the permissions but this at least
avoids you having to check and/or mess about with the script start up
options.

There may be better ways, but this works fine.
