Default Moving MySQL Database to Linux on Mac


I have a MySQL database that I created on Fedora Core 6 on an Intel-based
PC. I am in the process of installing Fedora Core 6 on a Mac G4 (ppc).

For the time being I am unable to do any kind of an "export" from the old
machine and "import" to the new ... I could re-create the hardware to
allow me to do that but not for a few weeks at best.

Should I be able to just copy the database over to the Mac and have it
Just Work? Or are there issues (perhaps issues of endianness) that
prevent a database created on an i386 from working on a ppc?

Thanks...

good deal moving to ppc. i can't think of any issues. i would have taken a dump of
the whole database and moved to a network location or cd and then used it to
populate the fedora database. the dump eliminates all the machine level issues
because it's all ascii.
