what is the slackware equivalent of
chkconfig mysqld on
in redhat?

[Master of Reality]

my Q is related.
how do i set mysqld to run at startup in slackware.

Currently when i type 'safe_mysql' it says(or something similar):
starting mysqld daemon in /var/lib/mysql  
mysql end

this is on slackware, how am i supposed to get my sql started.

My problem was, that I forgot I was using slackware. I assumed things had been done for me, but essentially mySQl had only really been compiled.

Here is how I sorted it, for those who care:

located mysql_install_db and ran it

# chown -R root /usr/share/mysql
# chown -R mysql /var/lib/mysql
# chgrp -R mysql /usr/share/mysql

# safe_mysqld --user=mysql &

After that I set my root password and made a user and made my database and all that malarkey...

was mysql installed afterwards or with the Slackware installation?

To start MySQL automatically at system startup you will likely need to add it to the appropriate RC file...

If nothing else, try getting the latest MySQL source and following the included directions which should look similar to this:
