If you installed mySQL using the make command, you should be able to uninstall it using 'make uninstall' I believe. If you installed via rpm, try 'rpm -e MySQL-server-standard'. Why are you using -ivh? 'i' mean install... Ryan -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of H.A.G.
