+==========================================================================
+
+PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER
+To do so, start the server with:
+
+	$ /etc/init.d/mysqld start
+
+and then issue the following commands:
+
+	$ mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
+	$ mysqladmin -u root -h $hostname password 'new-password'
+
+Alternatively you can run:
+
+	$ mysql_secure_installation
+
+which will also give you the option of removing the test
+databases and anonymous user created by default. This is
+strongly recommended for production servers.
+
+Don't forget that you should also tweak /etc/mysql/my.cnf
+for server settings. Additional configuration files are available
+in the /usr/share/mysql/my-*.cnf files.

+# Replication Slave (comment out master section to use this)
+#
+# To configure this host as a replication slave, you can choose between
+# two methods :
+#
+# 1) Use the CHANGE MASTER TO command (fully described in our manual) -
+#    the syntax is:
+#
+#    CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=<host>, MASTER_PORT=<port>,
+#    MASTER_USER=<user>, MASTER_PASSWORD=<password> ;
+#
+#    where you replace <host>, <user>, <password> by quoted strings and
+#    <port> by the master's port number (3306 by default).
+#
+#    Example:
+#
+#    CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1', MASTER_PORT=3306,
+#    MASTER_USER='joe', MASTER_PASSWORD='secret';
+#
+# OR
+#
+# 2) Set the variables below. However, in case you choose this method, then
+#    start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example
+#    if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to
+#    connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later
+#    change in this file to the variables' values below will be ignored and
+#    overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown
+#    the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server.
+#    For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched
+#    (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above)
+#
+# required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1
+# (and different from the master)
+# defaults to 2 if master-host is set
+# but will not function as a slave if omitted
+#server-id       = 2
+#
+# The replication master for this slave - required
+#master-host     =   <hostname>
+#
+# The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting
+# to the master - required
+#master-user     =   <username>
+#
+# The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to
+# the master - required
+#master-password =   <password>
+#
