All the symlinks in the directory are removed. All symlinks from
outside that point into this directory will become "dangling
symlinks", those that point nowhere.
Dependencies - rm will not check any dependency. It is your job. There
are no warnings, nothing.

man split
split - split a file into pieces

Get a DOS formatted floppy, and mount it in linux. Even though MS
refuses to acknowledge the ext2 filesystem, linux happily recognises
msdos/vfat filesystems used by MS operating systems.
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
and you can access the DOS formatted floppy in the directory
/mnt/floppy. Copy anything you want to transfer into that directory,
run umount /dev/fd0 and give your pal the floppy.
Of course, linux executable files won't work in Windows.

You shouldn't be changing these; if you really need to change, the
driver usually allows command line parameters to select an IRQ line
and such. Read documentation of the driver you are interested in.

HUP (actually, SIGHUP) is hangup, one of the 20 signals defined by the
POSIX standard. Earlier used to detect terminal hangups, but nowadays
used mainly by daemons so that the administrator can tell them when to
reload configuration.
There is no way of knowing that. You should know - period. Usually,
you can make out, like changing httpd.conf should mean notifying the
httpd service, or changing smb.conf should mean notifying the smb
service.
