- i am running 3.51m as os. i recently tried to do an 'ln' operatiion.
-
- i found mysterious things happening.
-
- the users manual does not contain a page for ln. it does contain a
- page for link.
-
- link is not found, ln is.
-
- ln -s does not work.
-
- ln a b just creates two copies of the same file with different names.
-
- is this a bug or a feature?:-)
-
- this is a very unsatisfactory state of affairs. how do we create soft
- links on the 3b1?
