Initial MySQL Setup
The MythTV Source contains a mc.sql file in mythtv/database. This simple SQL script can be used to create a default mythconverg database using the following method:
mysql -u root -p < mc.sql
You will be prompted for the MySQL root user password (note that MySQL user is different from a Linux style user. Consult your distro documentation for more information). Enter it, and the default Myth database will be created with a Mysql user named "mythtv" and a password of "mythtv".
