[-- Attachment #1 --]
I have just installed FreeBSD4.4 and now I need to install MySQL. I am soo stumped, I don't know where to begin.
I have downloaded the FreeBSD install TGZ file form MySQL.org. I have read the INSTALL-BINARIES file, and I'm lost. 
Why can't this be as easy as installing RPM's? 

Is there a step by step process on the web that could hold my hand through this painful process?

Thanks

-Allen May
