I'm a newbie to MySQL. I'm trying to run it on Red Hat 9. After running
mysql_install_db, I switch to the directory where mysql.sock is located
and enter safe_mysqld &. Here's a copy of the shell output:

# safe_mysqld &
[1] 7549
# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
030626 02:02:59  mysqld ended

> The cursor is flashing down on this line, and if I type anything and
enter it kicks me back to the prompt.

If I do a ps, it doesn't show anything about mysql even running. It
appears to run for a split second and then end all by itself. I'm still
trying to read all the man page stuff; would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
