Good for me too :-) I only want to point a little issue: I suppose you know, there is another hardlink tool with similar functions, and (re)written in python by the Debian people[1][2]. In fact, the name of the file is the same (but they are placed in different paths, /usr/bin vs /usr/sbin). I hope it doesn't cause a distro-war ;-) [1] https://packages.debian.org/sid/utils/hardlink [2] https://jak-linux.org/projects/hardlink/ -- Francisco Javier Tsao Santín http://gattaca.es 1024D/71CF4D62 42 F1 53 35 EF 98 98 8A FC 6C 56 B3 4C A7 7D FB
