Description:
The installer version of the 4.0.20 Mac OS X download at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.0.html is the same as the tarball version (as of 8:15 PM EST on May 22, 2004). Sorry if this is normal behavior (for the installer to be available later), but you shouldn't advertise an installer version if it doesn't exist or mislead people into download the tarball version.

Thanks.

How to repeat:
Download and see.

Suggested fix:
Make package with proper installer.

4.0.20 is available for download as a .tar.gz as well as a .dmg with an installer.  I was able to download 
4.0.20, install it and use it.
