It worked good. I never thought about moving the file. Thanks. One problem I'm seeing now is after when I ran the 'mysqld' command, it ave me the following error: mysqld dead but subsys locked I had the mysql partially loaded last time, I thinkit is doing it because of that. How can I uninstall the package and tru it again or is there any other way to fix it? Thanks Dali __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
