rm -i (or just rm since rm -i is an alias for rm by default in Mandrake) will not work
due to
certain environmental variables related to Arabic. If /etc/sysconfig/i18n contains
LC_ALL=ar_SA.UTF-8, LC_ALL=ar, LC_MESSAGES=ar, ... or we export these variables
manually, the rm -i command and other commands will be disabled!!
[EMAIL PROTECTED] munzir]$ export LC_ALL=ar_SA.UTF-8
