Hi all,

after having been surprised by scinstall -r (colorado20090520) removing all IPS 
pkgs, can I suggest the follwoing small changes:

- Bring a warning message and question to proceed after invocation of scinstall 
-r: Warning: You are about to remove all cluster configuration and installed 
packages. If you only want to remove the cluster configs but keep the cluster 
framework and packages installed, use scinstall -r -k. Proceed (y/n)?
And something similar for scinstall -r -k .

- Update the man page of scinstall to reflect that -k can also be used with -r 
and not only for installations.

IMHO the best way would be to not let scinstall remove pkgs at all. It is not 
good style to have a utility that is part of a package to invoke the package 
manager and remove itself.

Regards,
Rodger
