Why would it have to be a standard part of the upgrade process to worry about symbolic links? Wouldn't the upgrade program simply reference /opt? If the user/admin had moved it to /something/opt and linked to it since the install process I would think the upgrade program wouldn't care. -Nick -- ********************************************************** Nicholas Petreley LinuxWorld - InfoWorld [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.petreley.com - Eph 6:12 ********************************************************** .
