[newbie] Cleanup a failed install

[Ralph Bagwell]

I have now several suggestions and "howtos" on cleaning up my failed install from you kind people -many thanks - Seems that removing partitions for the Linux install is the answer - I am now doing what all said do - backing up to another drive on my LAN -   I notice that Partition Magic offers the option to "Delete partition" - anything wrong with using that?   I am now wondering if I should somehow delete the LILO or can I just leave it . My next effort is to try to install Morphix to disk - it among others was the only version that installed (the versions that work wholly from bootable CDs ) and it offers desktop icon to install to disk - (perfect for a real newbie)
