upgrading from mysql 4 to 5 on fc4

[Gregory Machin]

Thanks for the advise, I have done custom compiles of apache and php before
so to compile mysql 5 from scratch doesnt bother me to much, it's
just beaking the dependecies, that concerns me ...
I would have bothered with the upgrade if it wasnt for the fact that my
hosing provider is using 5.


Thanks will look into your advice hope you have a grate day.
