RE: [newbie] uninstalling linux mandrake.

[Dodd Carlton J MSgt 726 ACS/CSG]

I just found "Peanut" Linux installation that claims to need less than 200MB
for install.  Maybe it's not too late to keep Linux.  The readme file says
there's an option to overwrite larger installations.

Does anyone have experience with Peanut?  It looks like just what I've been
looking for to install on my meager laptop.  How is it for a very new (read
as: "virginal") newbie?

ok, ok, ok.... So 500 MB wasn't enough partition space to make a properly 
working Linux Mandrake without eventually crashing. I learn from these 
things. [:

As I result, I'm trying to uninstall the linux partition and put all back to

the original state. I want to get rid of the LILO boot and slide the 500 MB 
back into my Win95 partition where I need it until I upgrade from my 
ghetto-style 4 GB HDD.

I ran the "uninstall Linux parition" program. It said it was removed and 
everything... Strangely, my computer still goes to LILO, then linux boots 
(unless, of course I type in "dos"). 

    Win95 says my 3.75GB (practically 4GB) HDD is 2.6GB, so the partition is

obviously still there...

ANY help would be greatly appreciated. (=
