If I am going to run "rpm -Uvh" then why would I need to remove the current mysql server? If I remove the current mysql, shouldn't I run "rpm -ivh" instead?
Thanks for the help so far.

I am trying to upgrade MySQL on CentOS 4.5 but having a hard time. I need to go from MySQL 4.1 to 5. I downloaded the following two files:
mysql-server-5.0.58-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm mysql-5.0.48-2.el4.centos.i386.rpm
I tried to do:
yum install mysql-server-5.0.58-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm
The command to use here would be rpm -Uvh, as these packages are not in the yum system.
You would need to uninstall the current mysql first, however - and to migrate any data, you need to use mysqldump --all --opt before that, and then import it back after 5.x is installed.
Last time I checked, you could not use the same database files for different major versions of MySQL - I could be wrong on this point, however.
