G,

As well as the mysql server, you need the mysql client programs. If you got
the package from pkg.nl.cobalt.com or similar it has probably got the client
stuff in already.

Then the command you need to use is:-

    mysqladmin -u (username) -p create (database name)

where (username) is the mysql user, normally root. The -p option makes it
ask you for the password.

P.

Note: I didn't get the package, I installed the latest RPM's from mysql.com
