question about mySQL v3 to v4/v5 upgrade

Hi

I need to upgrade mySQL on a fedora FC3 system from v3 to v4 or later. I believe I need to uninstall the old version and then install the new version. Is there anything I will need to do other than run rpm to uninstall and then install the new version? I suppose I'm wondering if there is any dependency checking that needs done. Does it matter if I choice v5 or the older v4?

Further I need innoDB support enabled - is this an install option or it is something I configure later?

I'm not sure about mySQL5, but here's a howto for mySQL4:
