    66 MySQL Technical Reference for Version 4.0.3    MySQL-devel-VERSION.i386.rpm Libraries and include les needed if you want to compile other MySQL clients, such as the Perl modules.    MySQL-VERSION.src.rpm This contains the source code for all of the previous packages.  It can also be used to try to build RPMs for other architectures (for example, Alpha or SPARC). To see all les in an RPM package, run: shell> rpm -qpl MySQL-VERSION.i386.rpm To perform a standard minimal installation, run: shell> rpm -i MySQL-VERSION.i386.rpm MySQL-client-VERSION.i386.rpm To install just the client package, run: shell> rpm -i MySQL-client-VERSION.i386.rpm The RPM places data in `/var/lib/mysql'.  The RPM also creates the appropriate entries in `/etc/rc.d/' to start the server automatically at boot time.   (This means that if you have performed a previous installation, you may want to make a copy of your previously installed MySQL startup le if you made any changes to it, so you don't lose your changes.) After installing the RPM le(s), the mysqld daemon should be running and you should now be able to start using MySQL. See Section 2.4 [Post-installation], page 91. If something goes wrong, you can nd more information in the binary installation chapter. See Section 2.2.7 [Installing binary], page 77. 2.1.2  Installing MySQL on Windows The MySQL server for Windows is available in two distribution types: 1.   The binary distribution contains a setup program which installs everything you need so that you can start the server immediately. 2.   The source distribution contains all the code and support les for building the executa- bles using the VC++ 6.0 compiler.  See Section 2.3.7 [Windows source build], page 90. Generally speaking, you should use the binary distribution. You will need the following:    A 32-bit Windows Operating System such as 9x, Me, NT, 2000, or XP. The NT family (NT,  Windows  2000  and  XP)  permits  running  the  MySQL  server  as  a  service.   See Section 2.6.2.2 [NT start], page 114. If you want to use tables bigger than 4G, you should install MySQL on an NTFS or newer lesystem.  Don't forget to use MAX_ROWS and AVG_ROW_LENGTH when you create the table.  See Section 6.5.3 [CREATE TABLE], page 469.    TCP/IP protocol support.    A copy of the MySQL binary or distribution for Windows, which can be downloaded from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/. Note:  The distribution les are supplied with a zipped format and we recommend the use of an adequate FTP client with resume feature to avoid corruption of les during the download process.
