I have no problems with the original mysql rpms on 5 FC1 Machines, one
of this production enviroment (yes, it's stable!).

To install mysql 4 on your FC1 Box, go to
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html

1.)
Download RPMS from mysql.com:

Server, Client programs,  Libraries and header files (if you need devel
rpms!), Dynamic client libraries (including 3.23.x libraries)

2.)
Remove existing mysql rpms via 'rpm -e --nodeps {name}', if installed.
Check this with 'rpm -qa|grep -i mysql'.

3.) Install the downloaded mysql rpms...
