Hello,

I don't know the first thing about PC clones and your references to
mbr probably mean something in that world but I don't think the mbr
concept applies to Mac booting.
MBR = Master Boot Record ( I think I encountered the term while using
Mandrake Linux on an old homegrown PC box I had a few years ago. I guess
I assumed it was a Linux term.

Thus, to remove Linux, all you have to do is (a) set Mac OS X as the
startup disk using the System Preferences Startup Disk Preferences
Pane and (b) physically remove the Linux HD.
This sounds right, but if I really, really, really, want to cover all my
bases, could I view the Linux and/or Mac disks and find the partition
that contains yaboot and if it happens to be on the Mac disk, remove it?
If I remove the Linux disk I may try to revive it with "Superscrubber"
and put it in an Old World all-in-one that I own.
Many thanks to Eric for the tome on Mac boot protocols, etc. etc.
