I have lost (well, I think I foolishly removed it during a reinstall) the mysql file /etc/my.cnf. I use Debian woody, so it would seem to be in the mysql-common package. "dpkg -s mysql-common" gives me "install ok installed". Should I just "apt-get remove" that package then reinstall (and in so doing reinstall mysql-server amongst other things)? Or can I extract the file out of the package somehow and manually stick it back in (prepares for shivers and head-shaking from the apt/ dpkg gurus...)?
