Here is a good link:

What you are going to run into is dependency problems. Just be ready to install more RPM packages than just MySql! But it will come back and tell you what you are missing, you just d/l it, install it, and try again.
Good luck!

Download the mysql appropriate for your system from: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.0.html
If you installed an rpm based distribution of linux like Fedora or Mandrake, download the .rpm file and install using the command:
-----------
rpm -ivh mysql-xxx.rpm
-----------
For any system, (if you have a compiler), download the source tarball (.tar.gz file) and install as follows:
-----------
tar zxvf mysql-xxx.tar.gz
cd mysql-xxx
./configure
make
make install (run this command as root)
-----------
Replace mysql-xxx with the name of the file you downloaded.

I haven't seen an answer to the distro, but I've been using Debian lately and love it - especially with package management - for debian, installing MySQL can be as entering:
apt-get install mysql
at a command line.
apt-get install mysql
at a command line.
You can use yum, the yellow dog package manager. You can get an rpm for redhat 7.3 here.
http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/1.0/yum-1.0.3-1_73.noarch.rpm
After you have installed yum, installing mysql is as easy as "yum install mysql". Yum will downlaod mysql + any rpms mysql needs and install them for you.

Yo can use wget to download rpm from command line. For example, you can download mysql 4.0.21(glibc shared x86) rpm from an ftp mirror in US as follows (from command line):
------------
wget ftp://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mirrors/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-4.0/mysql-standard-4.0.21-pc-linux-i686-icc-glibc23.tar.gz
------------

wget ftp://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mirrors/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-4.0/mysql-standard-4.0.21-pc-linux-i686-icc-glibc23.tar.gz

Hi Sunjith,
You can use any text based browser for e.g. lynx , go to the site and download the package. The package you will be download will be either a tar.gz file or an rpm file. In case you downloaded an rpm, you need to use the package manager for that, otherwise you can untar the distribution and install it from the source itself.
Cheers!
