Oh, you mean in OSCAR? No. >Does it matter if the user creates them? or should I do something like >check if it's a "valid" symlink, i.e. pointing at bootdisk.cfg or >install.cfg, and then error if it's not one of those 2 if it exists? (I >need to check for existance of the link before trying to remove it.. but >that's just an error on console, not a functionality breaker) If the file does the Right Thing (TM), there's nothing wrong. It does mean the code needs to know if symlink v. file (the existence of hard links is irrelevant AS LONG AS the file is deleted before writing a new one, otherwise multiple nodes could be altered). Hint, the file object's type (file v. symlink) and dev/inode allow you to easily see what's going on with the file system. A multiple-selection mode must be supported too, so an endless parade of "select, OK, alter files" isn't forced upon the user. -- David N.
