[jim martin]

yes.. it was, okay it is okay now

I did a up2date command to look for mysql-server rpm
in RHN but it is not there.  see below. I had just
subscribe the taroon list

[root at RH root]# up2date --showall | grep mysql
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-5.i386
mod_auth_mysql-20030510-1.ent.i386
mysql-3.23.58-2.3.i386
mysql-bench-3.23.58-2.3.i386
mysql-devel-3.23.58-2.3.i386
php-mysql-4.3.2-19.ent.i386
