Well, the mysql_install_db run just fines, but some things like the
mysql user/group that are handled by the "make install" are missing. And if
I run this one, it considers that I already have a db, so it tells me :
In order to preserve your existing data, you should:
- dump all your databases
- kill mysql if it is running
- delete the /var/db/mysql directory
- run 'make install'
...
My guess is that I can still edit the Makefile to remove the check
of existing dbs... But it isn't very clean and I'd like to understand why
it acts so...
