:D

Did you have mysql running/installed before you install this one ?

It seems that your mysql privileges is already configured, so you don't have to set up 
the root password anymore since it already has one.

You just use it like you always do : mysql -u root -p 
..... and you will enter the existing root password ;-)

well, you should check your /etc/init.d/mysql_server or your my.cnf file or even you 
/usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld ;-)
