/boot/grub/menu.lst <-- I think this what you are trying to find.

It is recommended that installation from a tar archive be done in
/usr/local and removal should be as easy as removing the directory that
the installation creates there. As far as "uninstall all the various
pieces" process is concerned, that should be the job of a package manager.
