Depending on when and how you installed, there may be bits and pieces in 
different places.  If you used one of the distribution-packaged versions you 
can 
use the package tools to see where things land (e.g. rpm -q --list 
packagename). 
  One approach would be to make a similar installation under VMware player or 
Virtualbox that you could fire up on about any hardware and connect the USB 
device to the virtual machine when you need it.
