Excellent.. mysql-server installed.. And started.

According to the http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Linux-RPM.html it is also
stated:

"MySQL-client-VERSION.i386.rpm The standard MySQL client programs. You
probably always want to install this package."

So if it says I need to I need to, however running the command: 

yum install mysql-client
up2date install mysql-client

But it basically told me it cannot be found.

Do I need it?
