I'm trying to connect using:
shell mysql -u root -p
It says 'command not found' - I find the mysql command location and
confirm it is executable - from that location I retry - same thing.
Your PATH variable might not include ., the current directory.
Try this instead while you're in the directory where the mysql program
is located:
./mysql -u root -p
If that works, then the mysql program is installed correctly, and you
should just set your PATH to include the directory where mysql is
located: http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-cookbook/path.pdf
If that doesn't work, you probably have the mysqladmin program, but not
the other clients. See below.

This may sound silly, but how can I confirm that I've installed the client?
I ask because I installed from a binary tarball. It was odd how it
was one file (referred to as Standard) vs. two files one being the
Client and the other Server.
If you installed on Linux using RPM files, you need to install both the
server RPM and the client RPM.
