This is covered in the mysql manual here:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/o/Post-installation.html
First, you need to install the default databases ( installs
mysql/host.frm ):
bash> mysql_install_db
Then tell mysql not to use InnoDB:
put this in your /etc/my.cnf file:
....
[mysqld]
skip-innodb
....
dpk
