Yes we hit an SELinux snag putting mysql data on its own partition on
CentOS server in HISP India office  ... "stop it" was easier than
"learn to configure it".  One day they will have a proper sysadmin who
will do it nicely.

This is my environment as well.  Mind you I probably wouldn't go for
8.10 in a production environment anyway.  Better to stick with the
8.04 LTS or the upcoming 9.04.  But for development it is great.
