Hi
By saying "mysql -u root mysql" you are telling mysql that you are going to use
the database mysql which you have to use to add new users. Another way of doing
it is type "mysql -u root" to log in and type "use mysql" in mysql command
line. "test" is a database created by mysql by default when you install it so
that you can test creating tables and running quieries on it.
