You're welcome. to get a record of *all* mysql files, do: locate mysql > some.file.name to get a record of *installed mysql files do: rpm -ql mysql > some.file.name.1 to remove mysql: rpm -e mysql to determine remaining mysql (configuration) files: kdiff3 some.file.name some.file.name.1 note: all remaining filenames do *not* need to be removed. Some are not config files, ie: /var/admin/perl-modules/perl-DBD-mysql (may not be on your system). ps: you "top-posted" again, and full-quoted (as I did also). Makes reading a pain, don't you agree? Plus it's discourteous :^) thanks for your expected consideration! -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
