Yes, but please don't leave mysql in it's default state, there is a lot more to setting up mysql then just the install. You need to setup a monitoring script, you need to make sure it restarts on reboot, you need to setup the root password, remove anonymous access, setup a maintenance schedule so that tables are checked/repaired regularly, etc.

Assuming you did all this, it can easily take an hour or two in total to do it right -- barring no problems and a friendly system.

Cheers,

Alex
