How does this work?

It's as simple as 

qwurx [shmem] 16:35 ~/old_stuff > perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getstore("htt

Whoops. Seems like my drive is stable... but you get the idea. There's the mysql-3.23.54a.tar.bz2 file and some patches from RedHat, along with some shell scripts and a spec file (which contains build instructions).

Have to clean up a bit... I'll /msg you a link.

--shmem
