Automatically delete Mac OS X dot files from MS-DOS filesystems
Yes, I'm aware that could happen. That's why I wrote in the hint: This may be obvious, but if you intentionally copy dot files (like your .bashrc file) to your MS-DOS filesystem, they will be deleted when you eject the filesystem. A couple possible ways to prevent this would be to put your dot files into a ZIP file or change this script to be more specific about which files it deletes. If your friend had used this hint and that led to the loss of your files, then you have my sincere apologies. I've never heard of somebody keeping their home directory on a flash drive, but anything's possible. If it's any consolation, I've changed the copy of the script I used to be safer. It only deletes certain specific dot files that Mac OS X creates, not just any dot file as the one in this hint does. When I get some time, I'll clean that script up and ask crarko to put the new script in place of the old one. ---
