I have .net framework on my computer, probably b/c it was an update or
something. Anyway I was trying to clean up unused programs to free up space
on my hard drive and I noticed in my Add/Remove progams list that I have Net
Framework 1.1 installed Net Framework 2.0 which takes up 63mb and Net
Framework 3.0 which take up 58mb. Can I uninstall 2.0 or does 3.0 need it to
run? I tried to uninstall it and it said it would mess up other
applications. Should I just leave it alone?

3.0 builds on 2.0, so you can't uninstall 2.0 without breaking 3.0.
