Hi,

I need some of the "new" functions of mysql 4.1 (I'm currently on 4.0), and
I think that just apt-installing mysql 4.1 won't work in preserving my
current
databases and tables. I could export everything to text files, unless there
is a way to do it from 4.0 to 4.1.

Well for sure to be safe, backup. However, I haven't had any problems
doing an upgrade, (with official Debian packages) specifically when
upgrading MySQL. Aptitude kept my databases intact. The same when I
upgraded from Sarge to Etch, recently.
