You can't uninstall it, if you want to go back to PR1.2 you'll need to reflash the firmware, or you can flash a fresh PR1.3. Make sure you do a backup before you flash.

When I say can't, I'm sure it is possible, but it could get messy since it isn't intended for you to downgrade it, I wouldn't recommend trying.

The only way to get rid of PR1.3 is to downgrade to PR1.2

Don't worry PR1.2 will be working just fine, despite some apps that use QT 4.7 in Extra-Devel won't run or cannot be installed on it that's all.

Downgrade to PR1.1 and below will cause your Cellular to stop working.

you should just full flash your phone (emmc if you want) with pr1.3 to erase everything on the phone and still have a fresh new pr1.3, what are you trying to do is like having windows 7 and you want to get back to vista to erase everything when you can just format with windows 7

like retsaw said go here and follow the instructions very carefully

http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware

from your situation, it sounds like you need to reflash the kernel and then restore everything except your apps list.

Edit: sounds like you will need to find a computer with at least windows xp

Windows 2000??!! ...Time to upgrade anyways guy!

Is there a reason the command-line flasher won't work on Win2k? There wouldn't be any harm in trying, otherwise you can download a Linux distro (e.g. Ubuntu) and flash when running from CD/USB, if you want to run a linux distro from a USB drive I recommend unetbootin for loading it onto the USB drive (and it can download the distro as well if you want it to).

according to this page it is only compatible with xp and win 7.

Of course a linux live cd is another option
