Get the new rpms and do 'rpm -U MySQL-*.rpm', at least that's what I did to get to 4.1.10
Or download the source, unpack it and do a
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql5
make
make install
Then you can have MySQL 3.23 and MySQL 5 co-existing. To move your data across you would back it up from MySQL3 and restore it into MySQL5. Should be seamless but the syntax might be different.
Once issue I have found is that FC2 (and RHEL3) both decided to stick MySQL files all over the disk. That is why for my production systems I used the method above. I had more control over where things went.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql5
make
make install
