	It's been a while but I didn't have to set the MySQL root
password to get things working so it doesn't seem to be a requirement
for everyone.  I think I only ran mysqlaccess to create the MySQL
account/password for "mythtv".  This was for RedHat 8.0.

        It does seem strange that the mythtv doc (section 6.4) shows
slightly different ways of running mc.sql for different distributions
(eg, "su; mysql" versus "mysql -u root").  Does the distribution
really make a difference?
