mysql standalone server? need quick answers

[dieselboy]

MYSQL when running the mysql_build_db script in the very beginning if you arent on the net and you cannot resolve hostname then how can you get it up and running?>? I changed the force flag in the script to 1 but now it does not allow connections from @localhost? Any help here? This is on FreeBSD 4.1 but from what I have read it should be the same across the board...

thanks

remove the "force" flag or whatever,
if mysql cant find or resolve "localhost" to your computer, you have other issues to worry about first.

regardless of whether or not your connected to the internet has nothing to do with mysqls functionality.
