not a problem, delete the lin4win folder, set the BIOS to boot from the CD 
and allow it to setup the partitions automagiclly, send your friend a few 
sticks of ram, and tell him not to install over windows, but to give linux 
it's own file system. emulation is bound to slow down any system 
On Tuesday 11 September 2001 18:47, you had thoughts to the concept of:
> Someone I am trying to help via email has installed Mandrake, one of the
> later versions, over his windoz.
> Now he has trouble cause it is evident he installed everything and he does
> not have enough memory. I think he mentioned 56meg but not sure.
> His big problem is StarOffice and the extreme slow bootup and action
> overall.
>
> He did manage to send me what his df replied, The main thing I noted he
> has a partition for lin4win (sp) and I wonder if that is what happens when
> installing over windows option ??
>
> He tried doing a rpm -e staroffice and got an error.
>
> Is there anyway to remove the whole install and start over ??
>
> Any help appreciated as I do not use Mandrake but RedHat.
