Fedora Core 3 and MySql

[a a]

Fresh install of FC3 and the first thing I did was subscribe to the
list, so when I caught this thread I was excited because I also need
to setup MySQL ... so I followed the instructions:

> Check whether mysql is install just issue
> rpm -qa|grep -i mysql

[root at spr1-derb3-3-0-cust203 sbin]# rpm -qa|grep -i mysql
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-5
mod_auth_mysql-20030510-5
mysql-bench-3.23.58-14
qt-MySQL-3.3.3-8
php-mysql-4.3.10-3.2
mysql-3.23.58-14
mysql-server-3.23.58-14
MySQL-python-0.9.2-4
mysql-devel-3.23.58-14
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-9

... that worked ok

> to start mysql server (root)
> /etc/init.d/mysql start

[root at spr1-derb3-3-0-cust203 init.d]# mysql start
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

... oops .... what is happening plz?
