Yes. Version 4.0.26 (on Mandriva2006). That is I have to get it started
with /usr/share/mysql/mysql.server start &. I am told, starting mysql
server and I get OK in green.

However, when I try to use it with 'mysql' I am told
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

and indeed there is no mysql.sock file anywhere on the computer. There
are also no files named 'my.cfg' either. 

So you can see why I gave up for the moment.
