Hi, Further to my previous mail, if I make the red.1.gz->ed.1.gz link in the chroot's /import/ed-0.2/debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man1/ from linux or bsd, then the linux machine with the chroot nfs-mounted can recognise the link, but BSD doesn't (neither the chroot'd bsd, or the native netbsd box). A bug in BSD fs handling? seems unlikely... Matthew -- Rapun.sel - outermost outpost of the Pick Empire http://www.pick.ucam.org
