The windows installation is nowadays a fancy looking installshield and with too many questions it installs it self very smoothly and then I hust start the winmysqladmin in the mysql/bin dir to set the passwords. I have never used the command line in my windows install of mysql. All administration is done thru the phpmyadmin, netadmin or mysqlfront. Easy to use GUIs. I have edited the inifile but that doesn't really counts as commandline stuff? /brother http://persilja.net http://schattiga.st/about --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
