Upgrade from 3.23 to 4 in Linux

Hi,

I have an installation of MySQL 3.23 located in /usr/local/mysql.3.23.51,
which is working perfectly. Now I installed in /usr/local/mysql.4.0.14 the
binaries for a new version (4.0.14 of course), and don't know how to start
using it instead of the older one. I have a link: /usr/local/mysql pointing
to /usr/local/mysql.3.23.51 and some few databases in that directory.
My data files are in MyISAM format.
How do I migrate the database files? How do I tell Linux to use this
version?
I never did a task like this in Linux, for I always used MS Operating
Systems, so please be as clear as possible... In fact, I didn't understand
the MySQL manual about this topic.
Thank you very much in advance,

Patricio.
