Mysql 5.6 on Fedora. Innodb with Full Text Search.

Currently I am using  Fedora release 15 (Lovelock):
Downloaded server from (I have a 64 bit workstation):
mysql-5.6.4-labs-innodb-fts-linux2.6-x86_64
from
http://labs.mysql.com/

mysql-5.6.4-labs-innodb-fts-linux2.6-x86_64
mysql-5.6.3-labs-innodb-features-linux2.6-x86_64

Difference between the above 2 packages:
The package mysql-5.6-labs-innodb-features on MySQL Labs consists of a set of InnoDB new features since MySQL 5.6.2 milestone release, except InnoDB full-text search. Where as, mysql-5.6-labs-innodb-fts on MySQL Labs consists of a set of InnoDB new features since MySQL 5.6.2 milestone release, including InnoDB full-text search.

Installed the client from MySQL-5.6.3_m6-1.linux2.6.x86_64 (since I had already downloaded this):

from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/#downloads from tab development releases.

Followed the installation “HOW To” from here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/binary-installation.html
Got installed fine.

Although I still have to start the server by navigating to:
/etc/init.d
&
./mysql.server start

I still have to add it to services and automate server start during system start-up.
