Retrieving data from an unmounted mysql database

Couldn't you just copy /var/lib/mysql to another machine?

Subject: [TLUG]: Retrieving data from an unmounted mysql database

A while ago I have a server that died.  I have the hard drive, but I do
not have all of the data off of the mysql database that was running on
the machine.

Can anyone tell me how I can get a database dump of a mysql database
that is not running?  Does that make sense?  Thanks.
