To go to this directory, issue this command:

    cd /var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers

(cd = change directory)

To run this uninstall script, issue this:

    ./pop-before-smtp-1.2.uninst

and press enter =)  If you look carefully, there is a dot
before the slash (meaning current directory).  Failing
that, then use the full path:

    /var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers/pop-before-smtp-1.2.uninst

Either command should work.

To rename this file, issue this command:

    mv RaQ3-en-System-4.07-9229-4.07-9229.uninst keepaside

(mv = move)  "keepaside" is now the new name for the file.

I hope you know how to do this =)

Issue this command to restore:

    mv keepaside RaQ3-en-System-4.07-9229-4.07-9229.uninst

Sorry, have to issue this warning again =)
