>Description:
        followed instructions in manual to remove existing files in data directory and 
replace. on doing so, get errors when i try to start using "sudo safe_mysqld 
--user=mysql &". error log reads:
---
021210 17:05:07  mysqld started
Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set.
If you do not want to use transactional InnoDB tables, add a line
skip-innodb
to the [mysqld] section of init parameters in your my.cnf
or my.ini. If you want to use InnoDB tables, add to the [mysqld]
section, for example,
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
But to get good performance you should adjust for your hardware
the InnoDB startup options listed in section 2 at
http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html
021210 17:05:08  /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' 
(errno: 13)
021210 17:05:08  mysqld ended

reason for trying to regenerate files: "hostname" in mac os x gives strange results - 
so mysql used a temporary dhcp identifier, because i wasn't aware of this peculiarity. 
obviously this caused problems. after giving "sudo hostname 127.0.0.1", i tried to 
regenerate the files and restart the server. then the errors. 
more generally, should one configure hostname to 127.0.0.1 in the /etc/hostconfig file?

>How-To-Repeat:
        just as described above and in the relevant section of the manual.
