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. :-)
