thanks for the info. I was able to uninstall the whole thing ok but
then when I went to reinstall as you suggested it is still hanging up.
this is as far as it gets... it seems to be almost done but just
doesn't give me my prompt back.

[root@benway RPMs]# rpm -ivh mysql-3.21.26-1.i386.rpm
mysql
##################################################
Initializing Grant Tables
Database "mysql" created.

This is what is running that I think relates to this:
----------
root 9415 8.6 2.9 1596 908 p4 S 08:14 0:04 rpm -ivh
mysql-3.21.26-1.i386.rpm
root 9417 0.1 2.0 1128 632 p4 S 08:14 0:00 /bin/sh
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.8939 1
root 9423 0.0 3.1 2080 976 p4 S 08:14 0:00
/usr/sbin/mysqld -Sg -l
root 9426 0.1 2.2 1600 680 p4 S 08:14 0:00 mysql mysql
----------
any ideas?
thanks,
