Hi Paul:

Thanks for your response

I just installed straight up from the rpms -- it went quite smoothly as
well - this was a fresh rebuild of the server

Here is the output of that command

[root at srvweb-01 ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
MySQL-client-4.1.12-1
MySQL-server-4.1.12-1
[root at srvweb-01 ~]#

Thanks a bunch
