There's no need for the "-r", which causes rm(1) to recurse down a  
directory structure.

You shouldn't need the "-f" as Craig should own the file.

The "./" isn't needed as ".profile" is a perfectly legal and  
unambiguous relative path name.

More to the point wiping out the whole .profile file is gross over  
kill, as there may be a bunch of non-fink related stuff in it. Craig  
should be able to just remove the line that sets the SHELL  
environment variable. I'm pretty sure that the fink documentation  
covers what changes it or you make to your UNIX start up files.
