Why would you want to uninstall PAM?  As I understand it PAM is
necessary for password authentication on a Linux system.  I may be wrong
on this.

Not without recompiling every application that requires authentication. 
PAM is a pretty integral part of the system.

 send me the smoking remains of your machine after you use this on the
 internet a while.
 

Did you actually read and understand the question being asked below? 
Your answer has NOTHING to do with PAM.  Runlevel 2 will NOT cause all
of your programs which require authentication information to suddenly
forgo the checks specified in /etc/pam.d, nor will it get you any closer
to a PAM-free machine.

Please, there's enough disinformation being spread around this list
about Linux problem solving.  Don't add to it with useless and incorrect
advice.
