rm deletes files without warning unless rm is aliased to rm -i, or you
use the -i flag. man rm. Dependancies will get no warnings.

You are right in this case. However, it will still be better to do this
from Linux, because I have experienced floppies formatted with non DOS
formats spontaneously corrupting themselves when exposed to MS-DOS.

The files are read only, even for root.

HUP = hangup. kill -l for a list of signals.
Services do not depend on each other (except for rpc)
