start mysql at startup

[Ngu Nguyen]

Hi,

I just finished installing mysql, but the only way I can start mysql is using 
"./configure" or "./bin/safe_mysqld".  In the documentation it tells me to use 
"mysql.server start" but this command doesn't work.  I was wondering if anyone could 
tell me what I am doing wrong.

I am also wondering how I could get mysql running at startup.  I have no clue on how 
to do this at all.  

I'd really appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Ngu
