Sam, Here's a workaround to convert ISAM tables to MyISAM and upgrade to MySQL 5.0:
find /var/lib/mysql -name '*.ISM' Convert each table in the 'find' output from ISAM to MyISAM with: ALTER TABLE your_table ENGINE = MyISAM; and then upgrade MySQL again to 5.0 I agree with you, the preinst must warn about this and tell the admin what to do, or even better, ask the admin if he/she wants the script to automagically convert the ISAM tables to MyISAM. -- Cyril Bouthors
