RE: Installation Problem with 4.0.20
Thanks very much Michael, you were right. I spent hours worrying about this yesterday. The documentation implied that you don't have to log on at all.

When I then ran mysqlshow I only had the test database, not the mysql database as the documentation said I should. I then deleted everything and installed again, and got the same result. Does this mean the installation has failed ? When this happens on Linux, it means you're running mysqlshow as a regular user who doesn't have rights to the mysql database.
