Unistalling linux

Ok for a school project abouts some OS's I went to the library and got me a gigantic linux book wich had 2 cd for installing linux on a machine. It linux 6.0 for the record (i know its old i just found out). I installed it, with a bit of problems, not knowing everything and now I am stuck in this dos like enviroment. I hope you know what i mean. I got a copy of knoppix 3.2 so i can boot from the cd and work on that. That what i wanted, the visual part of it. But my question is: How do i get rid of linux. I have root acces. I can't download anything because its on a laptop. I greatly appreciate some help.

P.s. i could alway's, if no one knows something, run one of my home-made programs on it to delete the whole c:. But its not mine so i don't know what damage it will do to the laptop. SO I think it would be better to do it the old fashoin way.

Hi DakX,

This might help...

At the prompt type "startx" without the quotes. If there is an error post it here.
If you want to get rid of linux, reformat and install watever OS you want to.

There is no link \var\x11r6\bin\x to \usr\c11r6\bin\xf86_xxx which is the binary of the installed x-server. Please link the files as mentioned above or install the x-server and run xf86congif again. I'm aborting now.

The problem is that i don't know how to reformat in linux.

Ugh you're taking of SUSE..... OK:


cfdisk

delete partitions. Write to disk.

Take CDs, send them to me, that old is hard to find.

just shove in your windows cd (im assuming you are going back to windows) and it will boot to cd. from there format and reinstall.

Dpending on version, that may not work, specially if it's restore CDs. They look for a fat partition.

I fixed it. Its no longer necesary. I needed to program on the laptop but i found python 2.2 on it. And thats what i wanted to put on it. :D Thx for the help.

you could have asked it in first place
