I am not able to connect error is no connection to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. Review of /var/lib/mysql/ shows that there are a number of files missing. Is this error in files that I did not mark to be install or is it error in file installation? I marked ALL MySQL files including MySQLserver to be installed. Where do I get missing files? This issue also existed with the OpenSuSE 10.0 disk I downloaded.
Thanks for your consideration.

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 ;-)
