This section is dedicated to those that refuse to use the install script. I assume you're just stubborn. What's that? You want to learn something? I suppose you can read on too.
Downloading MySQL

Are you a simpleton and/or maybe lazy? Well, I suppose I can enable you: General download page: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Installing MySQL
Linux
(As of this writing done on SLES 10/11)
Installing the RPM packages.
Simple command to do so: server: # rpm -ivh MySQL-server-5.5.41-1.sles11.x86_64.rpm
You'll need to install both the server and the client.
This would be the best time to put in your own settings for MySQL and the my.cnf file in /etc/ Copy it from /usr/share/doc/packages/MySQL-server/ The installer bundled with Retain uses the my-large.cnf file and modifies the path locations. Use whatever file you feel best fits the server environment.
