1. delete the database on gentoo

mysql -uroot -p

mysql> drop database mythconverg;

Then recreate it;

mysql> create database mythconverg;

2. Dump the myth db on the fc server

mysqldump --opt -uroot -p mythconverg > mythconverg.sql

3. import the database on the gentoo server

mysql -uroot -p mythconverg < mythconverg.sql
