[nflug] RHEL 4

[Christopher Hawkins]

Sorry, joining this discussion kind of late. But did I see someone asking
about yum? I use it on Centos 4.4 all the time, so much so that I wrote a
little script to install it and its dependencies (figured that going through
rpm hell once on this issue was enough  ;-)  ). I have a tarball of all
these packages that I just unpack and then run the script, and poof, yum is
installed. If you want I can email you the tarball... Will probably run on
4.6, maybe with some tweaking of package versions, or might just work as is.

Hi all!

I was wondering how one would upgrade from MySQL 4.1 to the latest 5.x
version on RHEL 4.6 without having to download and install the program from
the MySQL website?
