Hey everybody,

I'm about to try getting those databases installed. It looks like it might
be more trouble than I thought because they were created on MySQL 4.0.x
(Debian testing) and now I'm running MySQL 4.1.x on RHEL4. I have a Debian
testing box at home so I'm thinking it might be best to copy them to that
box and then do a proper export. I figure that might increase the odds of
getting a working system out of it in the end. A couple questions:

1. I have WordPress installed at home and it was installed on the crashed
server too. Both databases are called "wordpress". Can I rename either of
them before copying the data into /var/lib/mysql where the database tables
live?

2. How does the "mysql" database fit into this? If I copy some database
tables in /var/lib/mysql do I need to modify the mysql database to make the
new database available?

Thanks for all the help so far.

-Tim
