I think I've answered most of this just now, in anothe reply. Lay it out like this: /var/ftp/pub/linux/RedHat /var/ftp/pub/linux/MyDist Create MyDist using cp -l, and be sure to remove files you want to change because, with hard links, it's change one, change all. There is no harm, other than excessive disk-space usage, in having extraneous packages in the tree, and that's minimised by using hard links. -- Please, reply only to the list.
