I found it, installed it, let it do its updates, but a scan for servers
doesn't find mysql cuz it is not running and now won't run.
I had NDI this was going to such a PIMA, but a friend has mythtv running at
his place and it does everything but fix breakfast.
If anyone has any idea how to reset this SOB to absolutely square one, never
having been run, please advise. Deleting /var/lib/mysql didn't do it.
