- Boot with the install disk and switch to disk 1 when instructed to. Hit
- escape when you are given that option to get to a command prompt (or if
- you have a boot disk made with makeboot.cmd, just boot with that). Then
- simply switch to your hard disk, cd to the directory where you keep
- pmfract, and delete it.
