I just installed MySQL-2.23.46-1.i386.rpm on RedHat 7.1 Once done I was going to set the root password as per the instructions. I couldn't find mysqladmin, so I was instructed to install the matching client, but still no mysqladmin. This is what I get: When I do rpm -i MySQL-2.23.46-1.i386.rpm I get "Already installed" When I do rpm -e MySQL-2.23.46-1.i386.rpm I get "Not installed" When I do -q MySQL* I get "package MySQL-3.23.46-1.i386.rpm is not installed" "package MySQL-client-3.23.46-1.i386.rpm not installed" Then of course the best part is mysqld is running. I checked for an existing MySQL install before attempting to install the new rpm, and it said there was none. Is there a possibility there was a previous version? How would I check to see what version "is running"? The bigger question is how can I straighten this out? Raymond
