Franz, it could not be easier.
1. install MySQL using Yast's software menu. 2. use the Yast run level editor to have MySQL up at run levels 3 and 5 and to start the application. 3. be root in a xterm window and type: mybox:~ # mysql ... and you will see: mysql> here you are accessing a running system from the client. Use GRANT to set a password for root and to add new users. Where is the problem?
