Quick and dirty MySQL install on Mac OS X from tgz

Just as a note to myself, how to install MySQL quick and dirty (very bad bad bad way of doing that, just very fast to make it up and running for quick coding session :-)
sudo /usr/local/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db --user=root
sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=root &

That's it, you are done, go screw you Mac OS X with such hackable installation. But, you still can do some MySQL coding. :-)
