 Greenstone 3 uses mysql for the collection database (with Greenstone 3 native building). If you already have mysql installed, set the 'mysql.installed.path' property (in build.properties) to the base directory of your mysql installation, and Greenstone will not download/install mysql. Please read the section "Using external mysql server" for details about how to configure mysql for Greenstone.
+If you are using mysql that comes with greenstone 3, and you are installing greenstone 3 on an NFS drive, mysql may not work properly (it has problems removing locks on its data files). After installation, copy the data directory from greenstone3/packages/mysql to a local drive, then set the path to this directory in the mysql.datadir property in build.properties.
 
 Greenstone 3 uses some parts of Greenstone 2 for collection building using the Librarian Interface. These will be installed during the Greenstone 3 installation process. If you have Greenstone 2 already installed and want to use that version instead, please set the gsdl2.installed.path property (in build.properties) to be the root of your Greenstone 2 installation. Greenstone 3 will then use this installation rather than its own bits. (Note, be careful about compatibility between versions.) If you are using Greenstone 3 from CVS, and don't want to download the Greenstone 2 stuff, set the gsdl2.installed.path to any non-empty string.
