I'm trying to write a script to automate the building of a symlink
farm for the live NFS install tree from two CDs or ISOs... it
would have been done hours ago except that I can't get basename
to work inside a backtick expression like this:

ln -s $fil `basename $fil`

where fil=/isos/rh/1/RedHat/base/comps and the end result of
what I want is:

ln -s /isos/rh/1/RedHat/base/comps comps

but what I end up with is:

ln -s /isos/rh/1/RedHat/base/comps /isos/rh/1/RedHat/base/comps

basename works fine normaly from the command line:

~> basename /isos/rh/1/RedHat/base/comps
comps
~>

anybody got an idea??
