I installed red hat 9 twice on a dual boot system so now i have my win2k and 2 installations of linux, how can i uninstall one of the linux installations?

as root:

cfdisk /dev/hda

then delete the partition it is on.

To remove the entry from LILO or GRUB:

pico /etc/grub.conf or
pico /etc/lilo.conf

and remove the entries, its pretty straitforward.

If you use LILO, be sure to run "/sbin/lilo" after editing.

If you dont have PICO, you can use a harder editor like "vi" or "emacs" or "vim"
