After installing MySQL you need to initialize the database by running |
| 50 |
mysql_install_db as root. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
and later... |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Gentoo |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
$ su |
| 57 |
# mysql < /usr/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Anyway, if you go through these docs I think there's enough for you to |
| 60 |
get running, although the specific USE flags you might want are |
| 61 |
probably not well documented here. |

I think that was all lost when the Gentoo WIki got wiped out. I |
| 76 |
remember what you are talking about but I don't remember seeing it in |
| 77 |
the last year. |

Hope this helps, |
