If you want to remove GRUB bootup your XP install disk and go to the recovory console by pressing 'R'. Here type

Code:

fixmbr

and now you have got rid of grub.

What is the exact problems your having with rpms?

Does this work with Win 98 too? Do I have fixmbr in Win 98 install CD too?

fdisk /mbr

It's a BASh thing that I use in jest here, since if I did

Code:

POSTCOUNT=0
export POSTCOUNT

that wound give me the POSTCOUNT variable(?), and then each time one wound put

Code:

POSTCOUNT=$&#40;&#40;POSTCOUNT+1&#41;&#41;

it wound add 1 to POSTCOUNT, so say if I do that five times and then

Code:

echo $POSTCOUNT
5

5 is the number of times POSTCOUNT=$((POSTCOUNT+1)) has run, and it's added 1 to the $POSTCOUNT.

THough the code on the in my sig does nothing, it just says that I add one post to my postcount each post I do.

install rpms by using:

Code:

rpm -iv something.rpm

i = install
v = verbose i.e. print loads of info if required (usually progress messages)

if you want to learn more about rpms, enter into a terminal:

Code:

man rpm
