Thanks for the reply.
My original install was w/ an RPM from the Redhat Network, I uninstalled all RPM's
associated w/ MySQL, Apache, and PHP and downloaded the latest of everything and compiled
it. After I did an updatedb on my box, I searched for "mysqldump" and "mysql" to confirm
it was gone -- nothing was found.
./mysqldump Ver 10.9 Distrib 4.1.8a, for redhat-linux-gnu (i686)
The actual tables are there, but the images (or any attachments) are really messed up.
Looks like something from the 60's, lol.
