Good Day Guys,

I want to know how to uninstall component on my FC1 (fedora core 1) eg
qmail, sendmail? I dont want to use it anymore on one of my systems...

If! it is a component that was installed via rpm do the following:
Find out, what the exact name of the installed component is with "rpm
-qa | grep gmail" for example. That will return the exact name
including the version no. and such. For example something like
"qmail_1.4-i386"
Then do the uninstall with "rpm -e qmail_1.4-i386"

If I also want to uninstall the FC1 completely from my system and
install another os, eg, windown os. How will I go about it?

Slip in the bootable install cd of another os and install it. Easy as pie.
Consider backing up your data.

How can I also be able to access my diskette on FC1 system?

"mount /mnt/floppy" as root


BUT: All this could have been solved by two quick google searches or a
look through the archives. So, please: Start using search engines !!!

Cheers,
/dev/loop
