Uninstalling Windows
aarghhhhhhhhh....i have done a search, and i cant find anything! i want to uninstall windows (on another computer) and install RedHat's Linux...how do i uninstall it? from inside linux, once i have it installed? or is there something i have to do before i install it? also, i want to partition the hard drive (not for 2 OS, for general purposes)...i heard you can do that inside RedHat...should i do it before or after i uninstall Windows and install Linux?
btw...its Win95
thanks for all your help!

There might be a better way, but I usually format the harddrive (or a partition of it) before I install a new OS. Nothing beats getting a clean start.

Why uninstall it?
Just delete the partition in fdisk and then create 2 new ones...
What version of RedHat are you installing?

As has been mentioned, it really would be a waste of time to uninstall it. You can fdisk it, format c: or just tell RedHat to format the drive for you.
