hey, First check whether you have installed mysql-server or not .You can check through this command : rpm -qa | grep mysql-* it will show u all the mysql rpms installed on ur pc. After installing mysql-server.Give this command to create a root/admin user for the mysql. Note: the root user of Mysql is different from the root user of FC3. mysqladmin -u root password yourpassword. If you want to use mysql thereafter give this command: mysql -u root -p then it will ask for the password of the root(mysql root). You can download mysql-administrator for managing the databases and users on mysql .It is a GUI based tool and you will find it helpful in the beginning. If you face any other problem don't hesitate to post it over here.
