MySQL windows to linux migration: what are correct steps to do?

[Tri Bao Ho]

Hello,

I need to migrate the whole database (in InnoDB) from mysql (4.1) on windows to mysql on Linux. And I want to use mysql 5.1 on linux. Could anybody point me the correct steps to do?

What I have in mind is:
- Install mysql 5.0 to Linux box
- Copy the whole data file folder from Windows to Linux (the database is very big so that I think I cannot use mysqldump)
- Run mysql_upgrade on the Linux box
- Upgrade (install) mysql on Linux box to version 5.1
- Run mysql_upgrade again.

Is it the right way to go?

Thank you in advance for any feedback,
Bao.
