i dont even think mysql6 is any where near ready for real usage (tho could
be wrong). can you see if you could put 5 or 5.1 on there instead? os
reinstall sounds painful =/

ahh, this is where google comes in for sure. it looks like you could
download an older rpm, like from mysql and use 'yum localinstall' or there
is a way to search for older versions that are still in the yum repos.
heres a quick link i found

Ok. I apologize for the mix. When I'm mailing someone, I simply don't get
Google into mind. :)

Thanks,
Rahul
