LOL, sure, if you follow the directions.  I didn't and hooped my system.  
Hmm, not the system, maybe, just parts of it.

I think I fixed the damage installing rvm with sudo did, maybe I should 
just create a new profile, however.  hmm.

Right now, trying to recreate .bash_profile and .bash_login which rvm 
uses.  Think I'll just make a new account and see what they look like.



thanks,
