The best way for you to get MySQL installed is to do "up2date mysql," which will upgrade every dep you need from the RHN.
It will not install MySQL. And that is what he wants.
I suggest you get the updated packages and install them manually.
Fedora Core comes with yum and it is a great tool to get an up2date version of any package you need provided you have the bandwith.
Another (trivial) option is to mirror the CDs to disk, and then run 'yum-arch' to make a local repository. E.g.:
# mount /mnt/cdrom # RH9 Disk 1 # mkdir -p /var/mirror/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386 # cp -a /mnt/cdrom/* /var/mirror/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386 # eject cdrom # add Disk 2, 3 and repeat # yum-arch /var/mirror/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS
Then edit your yum.conf file, and add a section for your local mirror, replacing the network-based one for the base OS. E.g.:
[rhbase] name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - CD Mirror baseurl=file:///var/mirror/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS
You can then install (with any needed dependencies) via:
# yum install <whatever>
