You need to start the mysql demon by typing c:\mysql\bin\mysqld on win 9x
(this need will need to be run on every boot)
or on NT/2000 c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --install to install it as a service.

> 2. Install as per setup file. Leave the default dir as mysql it's easier

> 3. Run c:\mysql\bin\mysqlshow - this should show a Database listing.

> 4. Set up password for root.
