Well, this is the tricky bit. You'll need to remove the hard drive, mount it
in another linux system and then remove the files. I've found that it's also
useful to "touch" the files after deleting them, then reset the permissions
on the new files. This way you avoid the RaQ having problems when it's
unable to write to certain logfiles. If you need specific details of how to
do the above, email me off-list and I'll see what I can do.
