Guys,
Being the complete tosser that I am, I am stuck trying to uninstall Mandrake
7.0 from an already present Win98 partition.
Having tried (over the past few months) both Suse 7 and Mandrake, i've
decided to install a full-time OS of Suse on an old P166 I happened to have
lying around. It was an old server and as such has 2 HDD's, a tape streamer
and a seemingly defunct floppy drive (if anyone has a spare kicking around
that they don't want? (hint). However I now need to remove Mandrake from my
laptop (works m/c). Using the instructions in the readme files, it says to
run the uninstall.bat file located in the linux4win folder on c:
I've done this twice now, and each time on restart, it takes me to a grub
prompt with a list of options if I press F1. I cannot seem to get any
further than this, i.e., I cant boot Suse or Win98.
Okay, 1st Q: What is grub?
and 2nd Q: What do I have to do to remove the grub prompt and its
associated requests after uninstalling Mandrake?
3rd Q: Is it actually possible to remove Mandrake this way, or am I missing
something? It is taking up valuable real estate (450MB) on my already
heaving 12GB HDD...
Mandrake is fine for useage, but I feel I know my way round Suse a bit
better.
Thanks for any help
Iain
