[Techtalk] Removing Grub from MBR

[Mike]

fdisk /mbr will take care of it but you will probably have to reinstall ME

Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies
the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry
penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful
about what they say if they had.
