You could use the ports, build from source, or use binaries. In my opinion, the quickest way to get things up and running is using the binaries. First, go here: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html Second, download the first file from the FreeBSD downloads section ( Standard 4.0.18 9.4M ) Third, in the directory where you downloaded the file run this command, tar zxvf mysql-standard-4.0.18-unknown-freebsd4.7-i386.tar.gz Fourth, cd into the newly created directory and read the INSTALL-BINARY text file, that should give you what you need. Hope this helps, Thanatos
