I had a problem with my password for mysql and then I deleted all files
in /etc/mysql and now I am trying to get mysql to regenerate the files
in /etc/mysql.  How does one go about doing that?  A reinstall of
mysql-client5 and mysql-server-5 and mysql-commo9n-5 did not doit.  That
is version 5.0rather.  Thanks for the help.
