Hi, guys!
Could anybody, please, tell me how to remove Mathematica 6 from Linux
(I have Ubuntu 8.10)?
Thank you in advance!

Assuming that Mathematica was installed in the default location, open a
shell and cd to /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica. There you will find the
installation for each version of Mathematica. Remove version 6 with "sudo
rm -rf 6.0" (no quotes). If you don't have su privelages then ask someone
who does. In addition a number of links are created in /usr/local/bin that
you may want to remove. Lastly in your home directory you will find a
.Mathematica directory which should contain your user installed packages
etc and customizations. Remove this if you want.
Cheers
Yas

Hi,

remove the /user/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/

directory and the sripts in /usr/local/bin, i.e.,
"mathematica", "mcc", "math"

but you should keep Mathematica and remove Ubuntu ;-)

Regards
Jens
