If you have problems with mysql, make sure you ahve installed
mysql-server package.
if installed but doesn't work out of the box ( very strange thing, never
happend to me on SUSE)

do the following thing as root

rcmysql stop
$su - mysql
$mysql_install_db
$exit
$rcmysql start
$mysql_secure_installation ( answer the questions)

Have a lot of Fun ;-)
