upgrade to 4.0 from 3.23

I have MySQL 3.23 on a Unix virtual server. I have no databases created. Exactly what steps do I take to upgrade? The online user manual is not clear to me, for it does not cover steps in detail.

I figure I need to stop MySQL from running.
Copy the mysql/ folder to a new location on the server.
Download the MySQL 4.0 file to my hard drive.
Upload it to the server in the old MySQL 3.23 folder.
Do a vinstall.

Are these the steps I take? I want to get my system as close to the one in the book "Build Your Own Database Driven Website" so the steps will work.

Thanks!
Steve H
