Instaling Mysql Cluster

Hi

The installtion of MySQL cluster seams to be very complicated process but in fact - it's not that bad.

There are several simple steps that one must follow in order to install it:

1. Install Mysql Server on at list two phisical machines. 
2. Pick one of those and use it as your managament node .
3. Copy the ndbd binary file from one of your mysql servers (SQL node) and place it on your machine which will become your NDBD node.
4.Install Cmon - to be able to monitor the cluster.
5.Relax - life is short but beautifull :) 

In next few posts I will describe the installtion process.

Also, my goal is to explain the basics of cluster - how it works and what it purpose is.

Finaly I need to invite anyone who need's help installing/administering MySQL database/cluster to join the discussion. I promise I will do whatever I can to help. 

Best reards
