Automating mysql-server’s installation was the last domino i needed to knock over. Thanks!

Preseed works before a package has been installed. It allows the setup of a new server through an automated script without needing human interaction.

sudo apt-get purge mysql-server seems to be doing the job.

TY.

While reviewing this process today, I notice that the preseed works IF the mysql-server has already been installed and then removed? Unless I am missing somthing, which is entirely likely.

How can I completely clean the debconf db from any/all mysql-server entries so that I can be assured that the debconf-get-selections | grep mysql comes back empty?
