Thanks Antony...that was what was missing...
now only references to mysql are in:

/tmp/tksysv-backup/rc.d/init.d/mysql
/var/lib/mysql*

Also still have reference in /usr/lib/per5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux
under the /auto/DBD and /DBD and /Bundle/DBD...but they appear to be related
to the perl-mysql stuff.

Should I uninstall rpms for the perl-mysql ? or can that stay and link
to a new mysql when installed?

Should I remove the /tmp/tksysv-backup/rc.d/init.d/mysql too, as well as
the /var/lib/mysql* that Steve mentioned?

Thanks,

Bambi
