MySQL5.0.18 Installed

[jludwig]

I have been watching the MySQL5 dialog with interest and finally decided to 
install 5.0 myself. 

My process;
1) Download and install the source rpm.

2) Change to the usr/src/redhat/SPECS directory

3) Run rpmbuild
    --> rpmbuild -bb mysql-5.0.18.spec ( and wait forever).

4) Back up all databases.

5) Install the rpms
   --> rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force MySQL-*.i386.rpm

6) Run  mysql_fix_privilege_tables --password=XXXXXXX
   --> mysql_fix_privilege_tables --password=XXXXXXX 

7) Check all ok except mysql-admin (mysqladmin ok though)

[root at localhost SPECS]# mysqladmin status -p
