- Subject: Symbolic links on NTFS with real symbolic links
Dear Folks,
On NTFS systems that support real symbolic links (eg those with Vista)
the comand ln -s does *not* create a native symbolic link merely an old
style shortcut.
Will ln -s be chansed to support native symbolic links?
Also rm <link> removes the target of the symbolic link not the link file.
Is this what you want?
Regards, Neil
