what did you do that didn't work? I think what andrew meant to say was
look in the 'support-files' directory for the startup script
mysql.server .(unless we're running two different versions, or binaries
are packaged different than source)
Take the mysql.server file and add it to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ with 'cp
mysql.server /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld'
Then run 'chkconfig --add mysqld'
Then run 'chkconfig --list' to make sure its installed and will start up
at runlevel 3
Then run 'man chkconfig'
Then run 'man init' :)

Well you only poked around with it for an hour... Linux is only as worth
as much as you're willing to put into it
Thankfully you have us to help you along the way, shout if you have any
more questions :)
