And just how many OS's have you used?

Methinks thou speakest in a most circular manner: When one uninstalls the
OS, if the OS gives you an UnInstall functionality, just exactly what is
there to boot? You "deleted" it, remember, told it to pack up and leave.
"IF" the OS gives you ability to delete itself, and really Bubba, I don't
know of any OS that will willingly let you delete it and then provide some
mythical environment to boot. Since you have uninstalled the OS, just
exactly what do you think will provide that bootable mythology for which you
are looking?
