I have that already on the machine. I can run MySQL Admin just fine,
but in the instructions I have to set the thing up it calls for something
called MySQL Control Center, that is what is not in there. I am suspecting
that the book based part of this on 9.3 or earlier, as there is a lot of ref
to 9.x SuSE. I am just going to look at the screens and instructions for
setting it up using Control Center and see if Administrator will allow me to
do the same thing (which I suspect it will and indeed suspect that the
mysqlcc was dropped because Administrator does the same thing)
