It turns out, my [hostname].err file shows that mysqld can't find a
file called host.frm.

I don't recall such a file when I recently installed MySQL under
Windows.

It's part of the `host` table in the `mysql` database. Rerunning
mysql_install_db may fix the problem. Check your my.cnf file for
appropriate values for --datadir and --basedir.

This is not windows, doofus. The initial databases are not installed by
default. YOU must do that if you want to run mysql and you do that by
executing mysql_install_db. Then you must

chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql

Only then can you start mysqld and enter root's password.

Only a doofus would limit themselves only to Linux.

Just FYI I expand my horizons to everything but the shitware from
Microsoft. This machine is running Solaris ATM.

I gave you precise instructions on how to get mysql running on Slackware
and you give me shit for thanks. You really are a fucking turd.
