Hi,

This mailing list is for helping user by giving them advice and way to 
do things. You shouldn't tell someone to do something that dangerous 
(even if it's just in a few case).
I sould warn people that when you do that kind of thing and mess up with 
your system , you can get no support, Debugging it will be next to 
impossible, and the last solution you will have is to reinstall and use 
your system cleanly this time.

Since i am aware of Linux usage and I can debbug and administrate my 
system myself i could be able to do that sort of things but that isn't a 
reason to tell people to do so and be responsible of some inconvenience .
