install mysql problems


hi

I have windowsXP and have downloaded the relevant copy of MySql. I run the
setup and mysql is placed on c:\mysql.....OK so far.
I am trying to follow the manual on mysql website but I am struggling.

I run the following command below and the console appears with InnoDB
commands
c:\mysql\bin\mysqld --console

I run the above and it seems to hang the console. After the line with socket
and port it just hangs????????? I cant type on the console and there is
no prompt

I knew this sql manual looked complicated to do but I dont know what to do
from here...I just want mysql to run so I can load databases But I cant
start the server

anyone help.
