Thank you!  Now that I have successfully deleted all my partitions and
have a clean hard drive, I feel that I can try to install 
Linux-Mandrake again. 

With my limited intelligence and complete lack of unix knowledge, I
was afraid to fight with linux.   I feared not being able to delete
all linux partitions and reinstall windows 98.

But thanks to the advice I received in these NGs, I will try to
install linux correctly this next time.  

According to the premiere issue of Maximum Linux Magazine, where I got
the CDROM installation disc, I expected to type linux at the $ prompt
and be on the way.  Instead I got a bad command response.

Thanks again!
