I'm using the Atomic Rocket Turtle repository (http:// 
www.atomicrocketturtle.com/) and that gets you MySQL 4.1.21 at the  
moment and provides a mysql-compat package for 3.23.x. Works just  
fine for me and is also available for Fedora Core 2. But, FC2 is EOL,  
so I'd look into an upgrade for that FC2 box.
