The simplest way to get mysql is to first cvsup your ports tree, then: #cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql #make #make install clean This will install version 3.23.51 (at least, as of a few days ago, and I don't think any more recent additions have been made to the ports tree). If you want to play on the bleeding edge, I think that you can get the beta of 4.0 from mysql.com, but you'd be on your own getting it installed and such. I'd stick with the latest port. But the docs on mysql.com are pretty good. :) Regards, Corey Snow To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
