I just want to use the latest stable OS and software. Also, I already have installed server with centos 5.

I don't choose operation system, please say me, how to right install mysql4.1 under centos 5 without compiling mysql from sources. I don't want make my server dirty, so i'm asking the right way to do this.

Installing an old mysql into the latest centos is not the best way either. Why not installing the whole database into the new mysql? Unless it's using functions that are not available/compatible with mysql5, it will work OK.
