There's nothing about symlinks in Edward C. Bailey's HOWTO.

I did an rpm2cpio on an rpm I built, then 'cpio -itvI' on the resulting archive. It showed the symlink and the target beautifully, in the installed directory 'rpm -qf symlink' gave me my installed rpm, so i figure that 'rpm -e' will remove it. --Tonni -- mail: tonye@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.billy.demon.nl
