Only think I'd add to this is that removing the rpm doesn't remove any
of the existing db files in /var/lib/mysql/ so if something is hosed
in them, it will remain hosed on new install. If you haven't put
anything in the db yet, I'd nuke the files in /var/lib/mysql/ before
the yum install mysql-server command.
