[CentOS] MySQL as a service, don't start

Hello Jim,

That's a good question. As far as I remember, installed mysql with 
centos. Then, since I could not enter to mysql console, I started to 
search for a solution, including reinstall mysql server and client from 
"some" rpms.
Maybe the best solution is to uninstall the client and the server and to 
install the mysql stuff again from CD?

Thank you
Samuel
