Chuck,
To which instructions do you refer?? after installing from YaST and
doing the "/etc/init.d/mysql start" as root, you should be able to do a
"mysql -utest" to test the installation. Then just type "exit" to quit.
At this point the question would be: What are you trying to accomplish?
Connecting with Apache/PHP? Doing the Open Office Thing? Doing like
Dylan H. and storing your e-mail in Sql?

Yeah, I found this to not work a while ago and have decided it's a bad
practice. Just leads to RPM hell and breaks the distro. Here's my
usual process:
YaST search - if it's not there, Internet search for SuSE 10 (or your
ver.) compatible RPM. Not Red Hat, Not Mandrake, but SuSE 10 as things
are placed in way different places. If none found, Download the
source. Do a configure and make BUT don't do the make install. If it
builds correctly (no errors), then copy the original tar.gz
to /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/. At this point, build your own RPM either
find a RPM .spec file, modify it, and do a rpmbuild -ba from the command
line or use KRPMBuilder (included in the disc set) to create a SuSE 10
RPM. That way, It's easy to install and uninstall and YaST is aware of
it and the files it contains. On RPM based distros, It's best to stay
"RPM based". When you start mixing source code installs with RPM's and
such, things tend to break.

What's the command or file name?? Online book or printed?

Again, use it how? Do you want to learn raw sql command line commands
or have a gui or use it for something specific?
HTH.
