I did updatedb. I did locate my.cnf
But I cannot find it? Nothing.
(I installed MYSQL using aptitude install mysql-server, and mysql does work right now.)

A:
What is your operating system ? On Debian Linux, it is located on /etc/mysql/my.cnf. If your cannot find it, you can create one from scratch using this documentation.

Do I just make the file and put it inside /etc/mysql/my.cnf? MYSQL will automatically use that?

If you use Debian Linux or something similar, check the right location in the file /etc/init.d/mysql. In my case I can see CONF=/etc/mysql/my.cnf on the line 25.

You can try following command:
find /etc -name *.cnf
it will show you all locations of *.cnf files

Yes. That should find it. He may have to do a "sudo find /etc -name *.cnf" though.

A:
locate will only print files in directories that you can read.
Also, when you say you did updatedb, did you run
sudo /etc/cron.daily/slocate
If not, then probably what you did run wasn't equivalent. (The default locate program on Debian/Ubuntu these days is mlocate).
