If for any reason you want to uninstall Mandrakelinux, you can do so. The process of uninstalling Mandrakelinux is done in two steps:
Delete all partitions related to
Mandrakelinux on your hard drive (usually partitions hosting
ext3 file systems and the Swap
partition)
and — optionally — replace them
with a single partition using DiskDrake (see
Section 1, “Managing your Hard Drive
Partitions with DiskDrake”).
Remove the bootloader, LILO in this example, from the
Master Boot Record (MBR). To do so, execute lilo
-U in a console, as root
. Doing this will not only
uninstall LILO but will also restore the previous master boot
record, if any.
If you have a different boot loader, please refer to its documentation to determine how to regenerate the master boot record.
