Mysql Installation

[whodareswins]

After a fresh installation of F12, I can't get mysql to run. The problem appears to be caused by no user or group 'mysql'. The error log says:

091203 20:33:27 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
091203 20:33:27 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't change to run as user 'mysql' ; Please check that the user exists!

Both the mysql and test databases are owned by root. The user mysql does not exist in the user list. How do I get the user 'mysql'? Surely not by adding it in manually.

To answer myself: Removed mysql & mysql server, set selinux to disabled & reinstalled. Voila!
