[CentOS] Uninstalling GAG Boot Manager

Dear friends:

New to Centos,  DVD version 4.4. Fabulous distro, rich in features, 
applications, very stable and robust.

My first install failed to boot up (after rebooting, switching in Bios from 
CD/DVD to hard drive. This was probably because I chose to install the Grub 
boot loader in MBR. I got the error message:

GRUB, Stage 2
Loading...

But it never loaded up. Nothing happened.

So, I did a fresh install of Centos. This time I chose the first partition on 
hda (hda1). Rebooted, switched from CD/DVD to hard drive. When the computer 
started booting up, it immediately brought up the GAG Boot Manager, which I 
had used earlier to dual boot Linux and Windows. The floppy drive was empty 
and the Bios was definitely turned to hard drive. I had earlier saved my GAG 
settings both to the floppy and the hard drive. That explains why it's still 
on my hard drive. At any rate, I used GAG to add Centos to the operating 
systems. I clicked on Centos and this booted up Centos successfully (after 
first seeing the lovely Centso blue boot-up screen. 

I no longer need GAG and would like very much to get rid of it and boot up 
Centos normally. How do I do that, please?

Here is the URL for GAG:

http://gag.sourceforge.net/

I downloaded GAG originally in Windows and installed it on a floppy, then 
saved the settings to the floppy and then to the hard drive. I might add that 
GAG worked fine earlier. The problem is that I can't seem to bring up the GAG 
screen that allows you to install or uninstall it. I click on R for Restore 
but I never see the install/uninstall screen. 

I'd very much appreciate your help.

Thank you.

P. S. One funny thing: I am sending this letter from Kmail in Centos. I know 
for a fact that I am supposed to use login authentication to send mail. I had 
configured my email program, including Kmail, many times in the past and it 
always worked fine. But this time, the only way I could send my mail was to 
NOT use login or any kind of authentication. Does this make sense? Yet, the 
mail failed to go out with authentication but was sent successfully WITHOUT 
authentication. Is this some sort of bug or is this normal?

I'd appreciate your help. Thank you all so much.
