I need to find a database! :-) On my Slackware installation I had (well, still have if I start it) a database called 'addresses'. I want to copy it across to the Fedora installation so that mysql on Fedora can see the database. However I can't find the database. I've tried 'locate addresses' but nothing there looks remotely like a database file (or files). I suspect that mysql buries all of its databases in one big file somewhere but what's it called? Thinking about it maybe what I need to do is boot up the Slackware installation and export the addresses database from mysql, then import it into the Fedora installation. Alternatively maybe I could just copy the whole of the mysql data across over the top of the Fedora files which only have the basics and a root user at the moment. -- Chris Green
