Delete the version you just installed via the apt package manager and do a search and destroy mission to get rid of both the other copy of it and the associated configuration. Running "updatedb; locate dnsmasq" is probably the fastest way of finding it and its associated files. Anything with a similar name in /etc/init.d is probably its launcher script, so that can go too. If you have an /etc/rc.local file, check its contents because its run as part of the sysVinit process. It shouldn't have anything about dnsmasq in it but you never know... Martin
