I have the same exact setup down to the hardware (believe it or not). Your best game plan is to install the MySQL binary distro into /usr/local/mysql as the root user. And then run the MySQL server as root. You'll have to start the MySQL Server when you start the laptop. Otherwise, you can log out or put the laptop to sleep, and the MySQL server should keep running. This setup works fine on my G3-firewire Mac OS 10.1.3 Lap Top computer. -RG
