rpm -e MySQL-server the version numbers (4.0.20-0) are optional, but the .i386.rpm bits are completely out. to see what rpm see, do: rpm -qa | grep -i mysql oh, and never use 'rpm -i' unless you have a very good reason (e.g. installed a second kernel). use 'rpm -U' as that will ensure you upgrade the previous version if it exists rather than clobbering it with the new RPM. `rpm -Uvh` is prettier, too =) -- Aaron J.
