I installed CentOS and included mysql (or postgresql), but it (they) didn't get installed. Where are they and how can I install them?
CentOS only installs the clients when you select them as part of the install process. (This is a feature from upstream.)

For mysql: mysql-server from the add-ons repository needs to be installed.

For postgresql: CentOS 3 needs rh-postgresql-server installed.

If you have a properly configured yum.conf you can install either package with:

yum install mysql-server (or rh-postgresql-server)

Postgresql on CentOS has a service name of "rhdb" in /etc/rc.d/init.d. (This is a relic of the days when RH was rebranding postgresql RHDB.)

The mysql service name is "mysqld"

 migrating / upgrading CentOS 3.3 to 4.x
I am a newbie Linux user, but I learn fast. My question is: With my 5 iso's files - What is the best way to upgrade / migrate my existing 3.3 stand alone file server to 4.x rc1. I am thinking mouting my ISO files and then pointing upgrade2 to them. Is this the easiest way or correct way. Please be specific with your instructions as I am a newbie. Thank You in advance
