There might be a installation tutorial at www.devshed.com , www.mysql.com , or www.sitepoint.com . If you're planning on getting involved with MySQL, buy a copy of MySQL by Paul DuBois.

you need to get partition magic and create a dos partition

then format c:

ok so i guess its installed
[admin /home]$ whereis mysql
mysql:
this is for a script im trying to install and it tells me to do this
Create a MySQL database. Use telnet or ssh to gain access to the MySQL command line client, then do this:
mysql> create database phpLinks2;
[admin /home]$ mysql> create database phpLinks2
bash: create: Permission denied
so I root up
[root /home]# mysql> create database phpLinks2
sh: mysql: command not found

im not looking for someone to hand walk me or anything but if anyone can help it would be kewl of ya
