A year or so a kind soul instructed me on how to install the MySQL 
connector.

I am operating from a new install of WO5 (Mac OS X Server) and ned 
instructions again --as I am no Unix expert.

The current down produces the folder: 
mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable; in that folder is another if the 
same name and an apparently empty folder (perhaps containing something 
invisible?) called 'clover.'

The ReadMe in the second mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable folder says 
the following, in part, about installation:
Once you have un-archived the distribution archive,
you can install the driver in one of two ways:

Either copy the "com" and "org" subdirectories and all of their contents
to anywhere you like, and put the directory holding the "com" and "org"
subdirectories in your classpath, or...

Put mysql-connector-java-3.0.7-stable-bin.jar in your classpath, either 
by adding the
FULL path to it to your CLASSPATH enviornment variable, or putting it
in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext.

Could someone please inform of exactly what to do here?  I'm a bit 
confused by this.  Especially since the folder contains lots of other 
folders and items besides the .jar file and 2 folders mentioned.

Thanks in Advance,

Ted Rogers
