Thanks (and to Paul Poulain)). I foudn that it was best first to open
koha.conf (since it contained the paths to the other files) then to delete
it and those other files, and then to drop the database. Your final point is
the one that I discovered via trial and error: the configuration program
refuses to work if there is already a kohaadmin entry. 

The installer script did not like Apache2 in two respects. First it seemed
to treat the Apache user (which is Suse 9 is wwwrun) and group (which is
www) as being the same. So an eror message came up to the effect chown
wwwrun:wwwrun failed. The second is that it does not recognise the fact that
people may want to use name-based virtual hosts. I suppose that it might be
difficult to include that in a general purpose config program, but it might
be worth considering adding instructions. (I already had a virtual hosts
file which I did not need to change.)
