After installing MySQL on a workgroup server I was left with some questions
that I didn't bother about when installing on my own machine:
1. Should the MySQL executables be owned by root? Or is it better to make a
new user 'mysql' for that purpose? If so: is there an easy way to chown all
installed files and directories?
2. What files and directories are installed by typing 'make install'? The
output of make just flashes off the screen.
3. When moving to a new version, can I just type 'make install' again or
should I remove the previous installation first? Is there a clean way to do
that?
