Please don't spam the list with multiple messages asking the same question.

Before you 'upgrade', ask youself, "Do I need to upgrade?".

What features do you need in 4.1.x that are not present in 3.x?

If the answer to that is 'none', you're probably better off leaving it
alone. If you still fell you _have_ to upgrade, think about using the
4.0.x version instead of 4.1.x. If you 'upgrade' to MySQL 4.1.x, and
don't go with PHP5, you really haven't done anything for your apps, as
you won't be able to take advantage of some of the new features.
