Did a friendly install. Co-existing with W98 ok. But now need to
uninstall it.

What is the procedure to do a clean uninstall of Lindows? I cannot
find any executable on the CD - or an option to remove at setup.

TIA,

Steve

OK! That Helped a lot. NOT. My search engine worked great. Nothing
there about Lindows uninstal.
RTFQ....

Anyone with knowledge of Lindows SP2 know what the procedure is to
uninstall it cleanly - other that the brute force delete and fdisk...

Make a DOS rescue disk in dos.
verify it boots AND can load fdisk.

boot lindows, use it's fdisk to remove the lindow partitions.

load the above rescue disk and do a
fdisk /mbr
