I recently downloaded openSUSE 11.1 on the suggestion of a friend. I would like to remove it. How do I unistall it? If necessary I will throw away the hard drive and just buy another one.
boot from your windows cd & run fixmbr,then, start windows,go to computer management ( i think,haven’t used windows in 5-6 years ) & use disk management to delete your linux partitions. You can use apartitioner to expand the windows partition to fill the whole drive
Andy
Thank you ! Does 11.1 run slow on your computer?
yup he is right go to >>administrative tools>>computer management >> disk management>> select the drives of linux and delete them…
then u can part that deleted into a amount of space and format it
Nah, runs quite well when i use it on my old laptop.
Andy
not at all…
over all my system performance seems to be better in linux comparing to windows

any way if you are interested in knowing the minimum specifications check out this link
openSUSE 11.1: Hardware Requirements
Thanks to both, it runs slow on my comuter (corei7 6GB Ram). I am disspointed, I was looking forward to it. You guys are more than welcomed to convince me to stick with it.
can you post your system specs
Crikey, 6Gb ram !!! my old laptop has only 512 mb ram,1.7Ghz processor & 20Gb hdd & it runs like a dream.When you installed,did you disable Beagle ? It’s a known system hog & causes a lot of slow-downs. Post your problems & we will run through them & advise where we can

Sounds like you need to buy a Mac.

What’s slow? Power on? Multimedia stuff? Web browsing? Document
creation? Slow compared to what? Have you gone over the few dozen
threads in this and the .applications forum about slowness?
Good luck.

Vista boots in a few seconds SUSE takes several minutes. This concerns me since I will be installing compilers (gcc, CUDA)to run programs. I opted ofr the xFce desktop, could this be the issue?
a gcc compiler never makes system slow…
are you running only openSUSE or else any windows in between
momofooze
Not running anything else. I need to be patient! I have to decondition myself from windows.
thats
really a wise decision
" when all the windows users wakes up to reality it would be a doom’s day"
i never saw a complaint like this in this forum… viz. system slowing down
As i have stated, check Beagle isn’t running in the background,if it is, disable/uninstall it. run the command “top” in a console ( without quotes ) & paste the results here

Hello, I am very very new to linux based OS and after instalation of suse 11.1 it turned out that linux driver for my wireless network cad (BCM4328 from Broadcom) doesn’t exist yet. That was the first reason for uninstalation. Secondly, it freezed each time when I tried to use Gnome Terminal at the same time with any other application. So I’ve followed all steps mentioned here SDB:How to Uninstall Linux - openSUSE
to uninstall suse but my windows XP doesn’t load at startup anymore, and I get the black screen with following :
GNU GRUB version 0.97
[Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command competitions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible competitions of device/filename. ]
grub>
I suppose I haven’t remove the GRUB properly or made some mistake on MBR recovery…
Any suggestions on how to repair what I did would be very usefull
Thank’s in advance

Insert windows disk, go to repair console and execute:
fixmbr
fixboot
Voila you will now boot to windows.
If you do not have a windows disk then search the interlubes for a
boot/repair cd that will do the same.
