Well, I wouldn't install that version of MySQL b/c it has a well-known security flaw.
I believe there are RPMs for 3.22.32 on the Cobalt site *somewhere*.  I recommend
removing these RPMs and installing 3.22.32.  First, find out what RPMs are installed.

"rpm -qa | sort" and then make note of any that begin "mysql" or "Mysql"
rpm -e packagename (replacing "packagename" with matches from prior test)

If you can't find those RPMs or can't get them to work, I recommed installing MySQL
from source.  You can grab the latest stable or development version from mysql.com.
You might as well get comfortable with the "tar xfvz, ./configure/, make, make
install, post install config" process if you plan on doing your own software
installations in the future.
