How can I uninstall a graphics package in recover mode?

So I've been having some graphics problems, and recently I installed these packages:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-intel-82852855gm-drivers-in-ubuntu-using-ppa.html
But after installing those and restarting my computer, I cannot get Ubuntu to load--it freezes on the purple screen. In recovery mode, I have tried to use root to fix some things, but it hasn't work, and I cannot connect to the internet in recovery mode to download anything else.

Is there any way I can uninstall these packages in recovery mode to revert back to what I had before?

Start by loading the network drivers before dropping to the root shell, then reverse the installation of the Intel module:

sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel

Do you in fact have an Intel video card? Which one. You can get some information on it from

lshw -C display

if you are not root when you try to do this you will need to prefix it with sudo
