Peter,

cp /usr/local/share/my-small.cnf /var/db/mysql/my.cnf. Have a look at 
your new config in /var/db/mysql and make any necessary adjustments. 
There's some other configs in /usr/local/share so if you need something 
other than the small configuration file copy that one over. All depends 
on what you're doing with it.

-John
