Perhaps not the best way: but you could mount the partition eg. mount /dev/sda1 /mountpoint Now just run a find command on /usr or whatever directory it is installed in and delete the binaries. Otherwise just find out which start up script is starting it and remove the call to start it on boot. This should allow you to boot the machine then use aptitude to remove it. Perhaps consult /etc/rcS.d/ or rcconf, or /etc/rc.local, but most likeley not... But I would first look in the boot scripts. Daniel.
