If you find that you're unable to install over the top, as the other reply suggests, and as some posts on this list seem to suggest that some people have had trouble doing, you can: Boot from some other Linux disc (including the install disc), make your way into a command line, run the "fdisk" program and delete the Linux partition(s). If, for example, your Linux partition was on /dev/sda2, then it'd be something like this: fdisk /dev/sda Press the "m" key then enter, to see fdisk's menu; press the hotkey to delete a partition, choose the right partition to remove, then write the partition table to disk and quit out of the fdisk program. Now, the details about what was your Fedora partition is lost, so an install should believe that part of the disc is unused and available. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
