Hi folks,

After installing the "ports" distribution from the 4.6 RC2 ISO, you will
find a file /usr/@LongLink.

I have described this phenomenon previously:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=11224+0+archive/2002/freebsd-qa/20020127.freebsd-qa

It is caused by problems during installation with files that have names
longer than 100 characters. In the 4.6 RC2 ports collection there are 17
such files. In a recently cvsupped port tree there are 22.

Maybe there is still some time for repair.

Kind regards,

Hans
