 Unix book and think I have enough of a feel for it to follow printed

 databases I get the following error:
 
 mysql create test;

 Not sure whether this is a problem, but running mysql show databases;
 the terminal seems to hang. The absence of the mysql database seems
 to be a bad thing as the documentation clearly states mysql database
 is required because it describes user access privileges does this
 indicate a fatal install error? Is there a way to roll this file by
 hand?

Any particular reason you are using max? Just use the normal version it runs
fine.
