I just did want you want to do and everything is running fine. There are a couple things I had to do, however. The service name is mysql instead of mysqld. I also had to change pid_file= to pid_file=/var/lib/mysql/localhost.pid in /etc/init.d/mysql because it wouldn't shut itself down without this. So, the path is /var/lib/mysql/ I also ran mysql_fix_privilege_tables as was mentioned in the install output. Hope that helps.
