I been in the linux world about a whole week now. I have dual booted my laptop with xp and unbuntu 9.04. Everything is great but I would like to delete ubuntu and give fedora a try. I wish to keep windows xp for now. If I use windows to delete ubuntu partions, soon as I reboot grub will be gone and I will not be able to get to xp.
I thinking if I boot to fedora live dvd, wipe out ubuntu partitions, re-create partitions in the exact same space, install fedora and then reboot I will be fine. Am I right here or not. Will fedora reinstall grub, lilo or whatever to the mbr and when I reboot I will get a menu that allows me to choose which os I want to boot just as I am currently doing. Loosing windows is not an option just yet.
I have installed Skype and some other programs on fedora 14. And now I'm having issues specially with Skype. So just need to uninstall that particular program. And at the same time i need to know the general method to uninstall a program in fedora
About 3-4 years ago I installed a new harddrive in my computer (XP Pro) and moved the old system disk drive to be secondary. I installed Grub and partitioned it in half. I installed Fedora on one partition and installed XP on the other. Now I want to keep the XP and replace the Fedora with another Linux like Ubuntu or Mint to try them out. I am not sure what I need to do to replace the Fedora and keep XP. Could someone give some idea how this would be done? I don't remember exactly how I did it at the time or what tools I had used or what I will need.

Processor Processor clock speed (MHz) 1200 Processor front side bus (MHz) 400 L2 cache (MB) 0.128 Chipset VIA VX700 Processor family VIA C7-M Processor VIA C7-M ULV
is there any reason why i can't uninstall win xp and install Linux? i've tried a few distros and they all cause the computer to freeze. the websurfer came with a winxp image partition

So how do i remove sun java from my system and any idea why it might be crashing like this?
I am a complete newcommer in Linux. I don't now where softwares are installed in fedora. I try to goApplications->system tools->Add/Remove software but there was nothing. i try to see in all the tabs in left but none of them show any software. But when i make a search of word 'a' in left corner of find then there is list of packages what's happening why not it is showing in tabs. what i see when i open add/remove software when i click on the first option package collection A message appears saying "]The goup List is invalid The group list can't be loaded refreshing your cache may help although this is normally a software sourse error more details No groups could be found.

I am running fedora 12. I had could nor locate the Tcl/Tk on the system, so I had to download, compile and intstall the raw the raw tar balls. That is now causing some problems and I want to revert to the Fedora Tcl/Tk and reinstall it using yum as the self compiled code may not be well integrated with fedora. The make file gives no room for an un-install. I appreciate any ideas on how to go about the un-installation. Secondly the fedora system is running gnome, how may I switch to KDE instead?
Hello people. So, some days ago, I Installed Wine in my machine, and it was working pretty good. But I decided to add WineTricks. Since then, I can not install any program using wine, nor open the installed ones (gives me errors). So, does anybody knows about a way to completelly uninstall Wine? I have tries "yum remove Wine" and "yum remove wine*", but it doesn't do anything. I am using Fedora 13.

I wanted to know how to uninstall compiz which I installed on my Fedora partition, and now that I logged out, I cannot log in, because every time the desktop loads, large errors come up that bring me back to the login screen. I try to load gtk-2 that allows compiz, but that takes me back to the login screen without an error message, which I consider is wierd. Is there anyway that I could uninstall compiz, ccsm, fusion, and similar plugins from my ubuntu partition, or atleast kick them off the start-up program list so I can uninstall them the next time I log in (successfully)
I installed it to check it out and I'm not a big fan... so how do I uninstall it to avoid getting the updates for it? I installed it through yum directly.
