Looks good to me. 

But perhaps an option to save the current mount points somewhere
would be useful in case the purpose of the uininstall is not removal 
for it's own sake but removal in order to perform a clean install, with 
subsequent restoration of the mount points.

In other words insert a mount -m command before the first umount.

Suggest you give your keyboard a good clean (there is probably a
foreign body lodged under the key, which should spring off so you can
clean it) or buy a new keyboard (should be only a few $).

Re: rxvt shortcut problem (bash, XP, memory, heap, Win32 error 487)

| What are the contents of your shortcut?

My short cut has the following target:

Console-11 -tn rxvt -n rxvt -ls -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i

The advantage is I don't see a command window...
