Description:
Line 276 of INSTALL-BINARY is wrong.

How to repeat:
The line reads:
shell> cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-small/etc/my.cnf # Optional

/usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-small doesn't exist and there isn't a space between that path and /etc/my.cnf

Suggested fix:
shell> cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-small.cnf /etc/my.cnf #Optional

Indeed, this is what I've got on Mac OS X:

macbook-pro:mysql openxs$ grep -n "shell>" INSTALL-BINARY 
...
107:shell> cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-small/etc/my.cnf # Option
...

As per the latest 5.1 release INSTALL-BINARY now refers to this page
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/binary-installation.html 
and that looks fixed w.r.t to the error so mentioned.

So there is nothing to fix in here.

Discussed with smenon on IRC, confirmed this has been fixed for 5.1.55 release. Closed.
