My computer is running slow ever since i installed the MySQL server and client...I wanted to dabble with it, but now I've decided I just wanna get rid of it. How do I cleanly/completely uninstall every last remnant of MySQL, cuz I see the daemon and other stuff running automatically when I boot the box. I have Suse 8.1 for what it's worth. -- Cheers, wmeler

Just don't start the process at boot (disable mysql in the runlevel editor in yast). You can start or stop the daemon from the commandline also by /etc/init.d/mysql stop (or start) as root. Brana

You don't have to remove it to stop it from running. just remove the /etc/init.d/rc5.d/SXXmysql file and it won't start upon reboot. On my SuSE 8.2 box it's /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S13mysql the 13 might be a slightly different number on your box. Now if you REALLY wanted to get rid of everything, you could be real nasty and use: rpm -qa|grep mysql |xargs sudo rpm -e --nodeps But, that's not really necessary to accomplish the task you want to do, which is to stop the mysql service. Just remove the startup script in /etc/init.d/rc5.d good luck, brian -- Brian Jackson Photo Sports ~ Editorial ~ People ~ Travel ~ Events http://www.BrianJacksonPhoto.com 650-218-5082
