	I looked for some kin d of installation script; found none.
	Maybe trying v4 was too ambitious; I'll try an earlier 
	version.  Here's what happened with the -alpha port:

root at sage:/etc# /usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db
/usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db: Command not found.


	thanks,

	gary

	PS:   I have been digging into the www.mysql.com site.  It 
	      should help later on.  -gdk.
