Hi, I am a new user of Linux.

When I installed Debian which came with the option of installing msql -
a very old version of msql.

I wanted to 'uninstall' the old version before installing a new version.
Unfortanuately msql files seemed to be scattered all over my disk (just
by doing a 'find / -name msql*' ) so I gave up trying to find them all.
I've just installed a new version since buying 'the official guide to
msql 2.0'

Then I got Permission denied when running msqladmin as root - turns out
that version 1 daemon of msqld is still running.

Does anyone know where I can find doco on where these packages install
themselves?  I want to do a clean uninstall of version 1 (or all
versions for that matter) and then re-install version 2.
