Re: [newbie] Uninstall/Reinstall Mandrake7.0
Marcyou're welcome. Wow, that'll be the 3rd Linux Mandrake distro (6.0 7.0 so far) that Maximum Linux has included with their Magazine, and that'll only be the 4th issue of Maximum Linux. I have a subscription as well, and sadly for me, it'll be the 3rd version of Linux Mandrake that I already have a copy of when I receive the one included in the magazine! C'est la vie!

Re: [newbie] Uninstall/Reinstall Mandrake7.0
Marcyes, the one marked 'premier issue' had a Mandrake 6.0 CD bundled with it, I'll call it issue 1. The May/June issue had 2 CD's bundled with it, Storm 2000 and Mandrake 7.0. that'd be issue 2. Then there was the June/July issue which had the utilities/demos/apps CD and would be issue 3. So the next one would be issue 4 and have a Mandrake 7.1 CD included. I believe you are saying the same thing differently. :-) Alan Marc wrote: I did not know it was the forth issue! I thought it was the third. The beta,first and now the second.

I understand the feeling, but really, re-installing seems to be the first choice instead of the last. If you have Linux up and running, you have Linux up and running. Most anything can be fixed on a running system. A little reading, a little editing, maybe uninstalling and re-installing a package or two and you are back to normal and smarter for it all. I have been in what seemed to hopeless, desperate situations before on my system, and have bounced backand nothing compares to the feeling of accomplisment that comes from doing it yourself.

Thanks alot to the person who answers this in advance! _ NetZero - Defenders of the Free World Click here for FREE Internet Access and Email http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html you can use the installation CD to format the partitions: -expert mode -any class but server format the partitions, click done, then exit the install. OR if you have a DOS disk then type fdisk, delete the partitions (non dos) and then exit fdisk. The problem with using DOS is that although it sees the linux partitions (non-dos) it is rarely able to delete the partitions , that 's why I suggested the first option. OR if you have Partition Magic then you can just delete and format the partitions.

Thanks I will try it with Partition Magic tonight!

Re: [newbie] Uninstall/Reinstall Mandrake7.0
Marcthere's no need to uninstall. When you're reinstalling, the installation will re-format your partitions. There will be nothing left of the original install unless you request not to format one or more of your partitions.
