I am a Terminal illiterate.. I need to know the exact dialog with (directives of when to press returns etc.) Sorry, but when you specify the following code (especially the "then log into mysql with your root and new password" part, I need sort of a step one, step two progression... Maybe someone should write a book on "Installing and starting MySQL and Command Line on a Mac for Terminal Illiterates.."
thank you so much for your cont'd help though (I have to go to the dentist; I'll be back later)
