Description:
The last commands to install a binary-distro (chapter 2.2.11) are:

-------
[...]
shell> chgrp -R mysql .
shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
or
shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
if you are running MySQL 4.x
-------

For MySQL < 4.x there is no bin/mysqld_safe (and actually the last two commands are quite the same ;-))

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
change the first line with:

shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

to

shell> bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &
