Hi,

I just tried to extract the first iso of beta 4 (md5sum is ok) to
/mnt/win_d/Mandrake and encountered problems I had never seen before.
The iso is mounted as a loop device on /mnt/disk and I typed the
following command to copy everything from one place to the other:

# (cd /mnt/disk && tar -cf - .) | (cd /mnt/win_d/Mandrake && tar -xpvf
-)

Files started copying but near the end error messages started to appear
saying: 

"tar: ./Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/basename: Cannot create symlink to
`commands': Operation not permitted"

for a lot of files and then:

"tar: ./Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/share/locale/vi: Directory renamed before
its status could be extracted"

for a lot of directories... It seems there is a probleme with the links
on the cd that should not be symlinks. 

Maybe there is a problem with tar also because the name of the VERSION
and COPYING files that are in the root of the iso were changed to
lowercase and this is very Weird!

A compressed file with all the errors is available at:
