Starting mysql

[Pierre Jaury]

Since recent rawhide changes, default mysql-server installation does not
install service bindings (rc.*, checkconfig, etc.) anymore.

First initialize mysql databases in /var/lib/mysql using
mysql_install_db then run mysqld_safe if you want a quick installation
running. Otherwise, unpack old rc.* and checkconfig files from old
packages. They still work.
