He tried that and could not figure out how to get things going once the
package was installed.
To be fair here, it is not always obvious. If you are not using
something like Debian that has a configure step that will pop up and ask
you questions, once you install, it is not clear what to do next. This
is especially true if the installation of the package does not build the
database. One expects to have to work with config files when first
installing a package, but the database creation script is often in a
non-obvious place and, I believe, has the password hard-coded in the
script.
Does RedHat provide for a way to query the user to setup the database?
