I think in Slackware at least mysql was intended only to be used by the system for system-related tasks. Consider, you don't find any of it using locate unless you modify paths. I had stumbled over mysql when looking for other things on this system, and found there's a script to start it up called I think mysql_safe. Going to http://lists.mysql.com will make documentation and downloads available to you for this database system. By the way, this database system originates from Sweden. -- Jude <dashielljt(at)gmpexpress-dot-net>
