Is it possible to copy only the whole Data-Folder? Or do I have first to create the database and then import the tables?
Thanks in advance

Within the data folder you can copy all directories related to your databases into /var/lib/mysql/ (if you are using RedHat).

I think you are going to have permission problems though.

If you don't have too many databases I would dump them all in windoz and re-import them in Linux.
