as part of that mysql invocation, add
-u root -p
when you run it, it will prompt you for the mysql root password (if you've not set that up, just hit return)
thanks for that - its been going along now for 3 hours or so, with about 1Gb or so to go, I hope
Three hours is getting to be quite long (assuming you're adding a cur table, not the full history). If it gets to be very (like eight) hours, see this thread:

once it has finished, i guess i better move onto the links one, and then to images.... i see that this is a very time consumming process
You only need links depending on what you intend to do with the final system. The linktable powers "what links here". If you don't need that, you don't need to load or rebuild the linktable.
if anyone could explain what I should do, after i have imported in the above files aswell - that would be great... like does it just magically appear in mediawiki, or what happens?
Yep, once the load is done the wikidb will be unlocked and your baby's life begins.
