- Subject: setup.exe: always creating a /usr/src directory?
I have noticed interesting thing with 2.340.2.5 setup.exe
1. remove /usr/src
2. symlink it to some other partition
(current locaton ran out of space)
3. start setup.exe
4. Update packages
The setup.exe has created hard wired /usr/src and the symlink
is shadowed by it
$ ls /usr/src displays empty
But if you do:
$ rmdir /usr/src
Than the already active symlink comes to the arena and you
list it as usual
$ ls /usr/src
It might be good idea if this same happens with CVS setup.exe
