Matjaz Jonathan is the expert on this software. If you can't get through a bootup, use the Gutsy install disk as a rescue disk to uninstall the hsfmodem driver set. When the Desktop comes up, open a console and $ sudo su - root will provide Admin privileges. Assuming your / Linux partition is (say) /dev/hda4 # mount /dev/hda4 -t ext3 /mnt will mount the hard driver Linux paritiion # cd /mnt # chroot ./ hsfconfig --uninstall will hopefully run the uninstall. ALternatively you might need to first find hsfconfig and specify the full PATH to hsfconfig in the above command.
