    Uninstall/Re-Install MySql

    Hi All

    I've dropped a major goolie with MySql and need to uninstall and then re-install it if possible.

    I am running Suse 10.1 as a headless, command line only lamp server.

    I installed MySql using this command:

    Code:
    yast -i mysql mysql-client mysql-shared perl-DBD-mysql perl-DBI perl-Data-ShowTable mysql-devel
    but can't seem to find a contra command to remove the packages.

    Can this be done in yast?

    I've had a look and most of the above packages have an "i" next to them when displayed in software management view. Do I have to change this to something else to remove the packages using yast.

    I'd rather not re-install the entire server just to sort out MySql.

    Thanks in advance.
