Hi Jonathan, all!

Both "yes" and "no":
Yes, it was intentional to create and offer PKG format.
No, it was not intended to block tar.gz. In fact, tar.gz is still being
built and offered, but due to some mishandling it is not listed on the
download page.

Please access some mirror directly that offers a list - for example:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-4.1/

I assume this is possible, but I lack detailed Solaris / PKG knowledge
to answer. Maybe some Solaris manual does tell?

But probably you will get along better by downloading tar.gz.

HTH,
