See the other replies, but don't just remove the script, use your
distro's tools to make sure it stops and won't start again. Deleting it
will work until your distro updates mysql and replaces the /etc/init.d
script. It will also create boot error messages as the bootup scripts
try to run /etc/init.d/mysql and cannot find it.

for example:

On gentoo:

/etc/init.d/mysql stop
rc-update del mysql default

on fedora I would guess (from my redhat days)

service mysql stop
chkconfig --del mysql

debian and relatives have a command update-rc.d which I don't know how
to use.
