I'm extremely new to YUM. I've been using it unsucessfully the past few days.
I've got a fresh install of RHEL5

I'm trying to install mysql. When I do "yum install mysql", I get this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum install mysql
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
rhel-i386-client-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00     
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

Which looks like it's already installed. It doesn't really say.

When I do "yum install mysql-server" or "yum install mysql-devel", I get
this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum install mysql-server
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
rhel-i386-client-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00     
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: mysql-server
Nothing to do
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# 

Which makes it seems that it doesn't exist in the repo. 
This is also a little strange, right? There should be more to it that this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum groupinfo "MySQL Database"
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Group Process
Setting up repositories
rhel-i386-client-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# 

I really need help on this, any idea what's going on?
