After downloading and untarring the Drupal software, I moved all files per the Drupal install instructions into /var/www/html.
I ran the next line in the installation instructions:
mysqladmin -u dba_user -p create drupal
It prompted for a password; I entered a password and got the following response:
mysqladmin: CREATE DATABASE failed; error: 'Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'drupal''
The 'dba_user' is used in the example, but you'd probably want to use the MySQL 'root' account when setting up the drupal database.
From INSTALL.txt:
"In the following examples, 'dba_user' is an example MySQL user which has the CREATE and GRANT privileges. Use the appropriate user name for your system."

How do you create a user in MySQL? (let me reiterate I'm just as new at MySQL as I am at Drupal).
Or does MySQL use operating system level user accounts? I've tried "mysql", "dba_user", and "root" and none of them have worked. MySQL only added the "mysql" account on its own.
