Thank you very much for that. It is always good to be able to delete
all things some installation generated, or else one might wonder after
some months or years what all those files might be and if they are
needed or if they are just unneeded remnants of old installatons
cluttering up the disk.

Another good thing to know, thank you very much, William! I tried it
and it looks OK as an "emergency solution" as long as I don't have the
package on my iBook. The hardware on which it runs is surely better
than mine, but the effective result is good only for ideal
hypothetical conditions of only me as user and a low net traffic
between me and sagenb.or. The responce time was long and after some
clicks I already got the message "Service Temporarily Unavailable",
which I think goes back to an understandable big number of users
working there at the same time. But as you say, for a casual use it is
OK, until I (hopefully) get the real thing running here.

Still I am glad that at last a good CAS-package starts getting formed,
and surely I'll stay in tune watching for some version for the G4. As
a sidenote here, a good CAS can be the mother of all other software
since it's still only mathematics in the inner core of every software.
I start wondering in how far a CAS might invade the regions of
operating systems themselves. But that's future music. For now I'll
have to wait.
