I tried going back to the 3.23 rpms on the cds.  I got them installed
and out of curiosity, I tried to enter via mysql.  Well, I'm still
getting :

> ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

So, I've got the 3.23 rpms installed and I'm no closer.  I'm combing the mysql forums again to see if I can find something to help myself.

There is something wrong with my system that makes it an unfriendly host for mysql.

Any Ideas?
