The main reason to symlink them would probably be that the fileutils package expects them to be there, so you keep a higher degree of consistency by making sure something's there. Of course, it's still not an intact installation if they're manually-created symlinks, but it's close. -Ken _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
