Upgrade to MySQL 5 from 4.1

Hi there,
I have purchased a dedicated server from 1&1 in UK. It comes with Fedora 4 (64) plesk 8.2, mysql 4.1. What I need to do is to upgrade mysql to version 5.1 without damaging plesk or something else.
I need someone who can show me how to do it step by step :)

Thanks
BIll

Try

yum update

that should update your system to what is current (similar to windowsupdates, only it updates all the software that got installed via the fedora repository system too, not just the OS). If I'm not mistaken Fedora Core uses MySQL 5.x.

If you prefer using the GUI you can also try using up2date, there you might have some more control without doing too much keyboard punching.

Yum update only updated this package
eclipse-ecj.x86_64 1:3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.12

What about up2date?

I can only connect to server via ssh.
When I type
up2date -f -u

I got
..

All packages are currently up to date

Then we'll have to wait for some other help, as I haven't used FC for ages and don't remember all the details.
