Hi Egor,
I created them according to the INSTALL-BINARY file included in the package
downloadable from www.mysql.com
I qoute this from the file:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"1. Pick the directory under which you want to unpack the
distribution, and move into it. In the example below, we unpack
the distribution under `/usr/local' and create a directory
`/usr/local/mysql' into which MySQL is installed. (The following
instructions therefore assume you have permission to create files
in `/usr/local'. If that directory is protected, you will need to
perform the installation as `root'.)"
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Should I not create the directory mysql in /usr/local/ and let gunzip create
it for me? Sorry but my knowledge of Linux is desperatly low, I only recently
started using the OS and needed a db and mysql seemed like an excellent
choice.
