[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 825794, member: 71075"] You could very well be right but I dont see rm as being integral enough to justify a reinstall. blixa, can you delete files? I wonder if rm is used behind the scenes to remove files (it would be integral in this case). It appears I am outnumbered and maybe rightfully so. chscag and harryb2448 are more proficient in OS X so take their advice. Might I ask that you try my earlier solution (if you can) just to feed my curiosity? For me, it doesn't seem logical to reinstall simply because you removed one file (that command only deletes the two files rm and "file2" file and nothing more - this I am sure of). What was file2?
