Recover from a stuck screen after log in
Authored by: ether on Jul 29, '09 10:34:28AM
When you are running as root, the:

$ rm -r *
commands are dangerous, since if you mistyped the "cd" commands you could end up deleting almost anything (or everything). Instead of the "cd"/"rm" pairs , you can type:

$ rm -r /Library/Caches/* 
$ rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
$ rm -r /System/Library/Caches/*
which will make disasters slightly less probable.
