Hi

I would like to install 2 version of mysql 3.23.58 and 5.0.18 on my
server.
If I understood correctly, i have to create another config file with a
different folder and port compared to my actual installation one.

Here's my question (quite easy I think)
How do I choose where I install the package mysql ? Can I still use rpm
-Uvh or do I have to do something else?

Can anyone tell me the steps i have to do to install 2 versions of
mysql server on the same machine?

Thanks !
