Thank you for this information.  My problems are that my web host restricts 
MySQL so the users scrip can not grant the permissions.  I also have 
problems which appear to be caused by my inability to log on as 
root.  Finally, and most of all, I am quite ignorant about Linux, MySQL, 
PHP, etc.

Therefore I bought a computer so I can experiment and educate myself on 
Linux, etc.  Once I am halfway competent, I will look for a host.
