1) Remove /var/lib/mysql (shouldn't be necesarry, but just to be safe
2) Get the updated rpms (you can get them with up2date). The version
of these are mysql-3.23.32-1.7
3) Start mysql with "service mysqld start" - don't do "safe_mysqld",
"mysql_install_db": The database is initialized automatically the
first time it's run
