Now, I get as far as:

Is your MySQL server running? As root, run
service mysqld status
hmmm, interesting:
[root@boris ~]# service mysqld status
mysqld: unrecognized service
[root@boris ~]# rpm -q mysql
mysql-5.0.27-1.fc6
[root@boris ~]#
I checked if there was a mysqld package to install... nope...
mysql-server
Thank you.... I'm a bit surprised that's not installed with mysql... but...
Well, I was still getting the "unable to connect..." error... but a
little googling around and I found a solution for that.... I had to edit
/etc/my.cnf to add a [client] section to make sure the client was using
the same socket the server was using.

Much better... now I just get "access denied" errors... but I'm
expecting that... I haven't created the database nor the db users yet.
Slowly.... slowly... I'm getting there. :-)
Thanks for your help. :-)
