Well, for what it is worth, I got mysql running and got the password
changed, but now I have other issues  php-mysql is missing so the system
says.  So I am goin to re-build and start all over..  Some thing trashed
big time. Prior to the happening the system dumped  and crashed..  Left a
dump file on the display...
