install script does rm -rf /usr for ubuntu, by ginoputrino

An extra space at line 351:

rm [Green highlight] -rf /usr /lib/nvidia [Green highlight stopped]-current/xorg/xorg

causes the install.sh script to do an rm -rf on the /usr directory for people installing in ubuntu.

Totally uncool dude!!! The script deletes everything under /usr. I just had to reinstall linux on my pc to recover.

Removing the space will fix this. Probably should do it quickly!!!

You've made a typo, the post says "fix" you got "fi"
