This is msql - a different program. I couldn't find an uninstall file.
What do you do if there is not an uninstall file - just erase the program?
In Windows NT you always have an uninstall program, or you have the
ADD/REMOVE control panel. I am new to Linux and have figured out how to
use rpms and run installation scripts in tarballs. I am wondering how to
uninstall stuff in general in linux.
