Thanks Dave. Now all I want to know is, when freeVSD is creating a new VS based on skel X, how does it know which files to hard link and which ones to copy?

Anything else and you're looking for trouble. You're not always working on the original file when copying/tarring/installing etc etc. Some utilities will create a temporary file, copy stuff there, then unlink the old file and rename the new one. This way you update a new file and not the one linked with the hard link. So you get a new version in one vds and an old hardlink in the other places. So, follow best practise and you're set ;-) Dave. ------------------------- The freeVSD Support List -------------------------- Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=subscribe%20freevsd-support Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=unsubscribe%20freevsd-support Archives: http://freevsd.org/support/mail-archives/freevsd-support ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- ------------------------- The freeVSD Support List -------------------------- Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=subscribe%20freevsd-support Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=unsubscribe%20freevsd-support Archives: http://freevsd.org/support/mail-archives/freevsd-support -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
