[Koha] Wiping all partial or full Koha isntallation(s) and installing stable under Mint

[C.J.S. Hayward]

I think my installation is corrupt.

(koha-password displayed a password, but it didn't work for logging in as
kohauser either.)

I want to uninstall and reinstall. Any words of advice besides being
meticulous about the wiki instructions?


Thanks
