I know just enough about Linux to know that's problematic. I don't know anything about language packs to know why someone try to remove one this way though. Just seems wrong from the get go.

    It's an old joke:

    sudo = admin rights

    rm = remove

    fr = force recursive (the more popular syntax is

    "rf" but for the joke its "fr" which looks like a short form for French)

    / * = C:\

    It doesn't remove the French language pack, it removes the entire harddrive.
