Soft links are not supported. I've never seen this before, but that's probably because I don't use modules. Note also that this never shows up during a release build and the error is probably ignored when installing FreeBSD. The simple fix for this would be to not create the symlink as I think it's mostly for backward compatibility anyway. -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
