  I've recieved a lot of good suggestions but ............  There must be some
kind of a difference between installing mysql from the package located here
http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/ (Which is where I installed from ) and the version
that other seem to have installed.
   For example from above:
>> /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start
mysqld isn't in this directory . It's located in /usr/sbin .
If I try to pass it "start" or "status" or "stop" as above . I get a message
that says "Too many parameters" and then prints out all the help info for
mysqld.

Any more ideas?
