I knew what the error meant, it was fine. I'm not that much of a newbie. ;)
What I think is misleading about the documentation I've found for installing
mythtv, both on the mythtv.org wiki and from the guide i was using, was that
the instructions said, "to setup the initial database, run this
command: /usr/share/mythtv/database> mysql -u root < mc.sql"
I was under the impression by running that command, mysql was going to create
database "mc.sql", especially since mc.sql didn't exist in the database
directory. So, I ran locate and found the file
in /usr/share/doc/packages/mythtv/database/mc.sql
That is what stumped me.
