I start from an up-to-date fedora core 4 (except that I've not
rebooted lately, so I have newer kernels than I'm now running).
This includes
mysql-4.1.16-1.FC4.1.i386.rpm
mysql-devel-4.1.16-1.FC4.1.i386.rpm
mysql-server-4.1.16-1.FC4.1.i386.rpm
mysqlclient10-3.23.58-6.i386.rpm
I'm trying to follow directions in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/unix-post-installation.html

WARNING: HELP FILES ARE NOT COMPLETELY INSTALLED!
The HELP command might not work properly
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h don-eve.dyndns.org password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe
You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory:
cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests
Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

bash-3.00$
What's the error in syntax?
I'm now simply following the directions above that say to use mysqlbug
and tell you what I did.
I can't tell for sure,but it looks like I'm supposed to just mail this buffer.
That's another problem. I seem to be in emacs (not the right one) and not
in a mail buffer ... I'll try to mail it anyway...
