CentOS 4.1 and initial install problems with MySQL

Tried to install cPanel this evening on a Centos 4.1 system. Disabled SELinux and proceeded with the install. It went well for the most part except some errors during the install of MySQL which didn't seem to complete properly. During the initial WHM set-up of the system and entering the MySQL root password it required a forced password change to be able to complete.

As I use MySQL 4.1 with cPanel, I used the Tweak Settings to select 4.1 and then did the mysqlup stuff. LOTS of scriplet errors which left out a lot of the RPMs and it never installed properly even after a mysqlp --force. Upgrading to CURRENT or EDGE builds did not help - in fact it made the problem worse because then when trying to do a mysqlup, it complained there were no mirrors left!

Now re-installing with CentOS 3.5 to see if it's more of an OS issue relating to that script.
