I got mysql working. The thing is, as far as I can tell slackware built it wrong. Once I downloaded source and built it with that line in the manual I installed grant tables and ran safe_mysqld --user=mysql & and when that came up and stayed up I tried mysql -utest and got a useful environment. When I typed status I even got something that sounded like a real data base environment too. After this, I expect I'll not be writing much to this list since I have the mysql info page to read up on.
