Yeah, that didn't help and I spelled "skip-innodb" correctly the first time, moved it into the 'mysqld' section and it didn't change a thing. Same thing happens still.
As for your statement about reading the manual, I don't think that installing default should take reading a 615 page manual. I think that it should be as simple as install, use. I know it was that easy when installing on NT/2k/XP, but those operating systems don't server the purpose that I have for this, as they don't handle clustering anywhere near as well as Linux does. I've read both the directions in the manual and in my "MySQL & mSQL" book for installation. Neither manual seems to cover what I need to do to get MySQL running properly. I'm going to try installing RedHat fresh again, this time without any database software and installing by rpm again.
