The latter provides a startup script in the MySQL source that you simply copy to /usr/local/etc/rc.d. See the following page for specifics: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/unix-post-installation.html Hope this helps, Trevor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFCrsUzoGycRpOgdeERArnzAJ0dNnCo5CBxI+lOMB6DIwuINQ6RtgCeMPeA KW16PhPZl8bdVujSjFb068s= =MpZf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
