Hello,

Is it possible to install MySQL binary distribution on Solaris into a
directory of my chosing without the need to access /usr/local?

RE: installation

Anand,

Thank you for this very valuable information. I created .profile at ~/
as you instructed.

I,m sorry I know so little but your answer makes me wonder why you wrote

/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:

while the installation notes said only

/usr/local/mysql/bin

There is an extra /sbin:/usr/sbin: at the start and a : added to the
end.

Thank you for your help.
