[ale] setting up WP sandbox on Ubuntu...

[Step]

Alright, me again.  The question's really easy this time - I think.  ;)

I've removed mysql-server and mysql-client, and am trying to clean up after
them per Bj?rn's instructions.  Problem is, when I do a "locate mysql" in
/var, I get so many files that the list scrolls off the top of the
terminal.  I tried "locate mysql -n 30", which worked fine, except how do I
get the next 30?  I didn't see a page command in man!

I also tried piping the output to a file, but with no real clue how to do
that it didn't work at all: "locate mysql | -fprint mysql.txt", "locate
mysql | /home/step/Desktop/mysql.txt", and a few other variations - none of
them worked.

So...what's the best way to find all the mysql leftovers so I can remove
them?

Help?!
