Hiya,
Yes, when you install from an rpm you just get the server, so you need to
download the client programs binary in a seperate rpm and install them too.
Also, the rpm decides where to install everything so you don't actually end
up with a base install dir for MySQL. Your data directory should end up as
/var/lib/mysql
If all goes well then you should just be able to go
shell> mysql
and off you go : )
This worked fine for me on red hat 7.1
cheers,
Paul
