InnoDB initialization

I have started MySQL with InnoDB support but without using a proper my.cnf file, according to the manual. MySQL 4.0.3 created the proper files, but if I try to use a my.cnf that sets innoDB variables according to the manual, MySQL crashes - it fails to start.

How can I tell MySQL to ignore all innoDB files it has automatically generated (generation happened when I created an innoDB table for testing or at initialization? - I don't know) and how I can safely use the new /etc/my.cnf file I have created so MySQL can start properly?

I am on Redhat 7.2. MySQL starts through xinetd.
