Are there any caveats to be aware of in trying to do that? I will be using mkisofs from fink, which is version 1.15.a39. When I unzip ppc-root-latest.tbz2 using "tar -xjvf" (bzip2 Version 1.0.2) to get the files for the minimal directory tree, I get errors that concern me, like: ./usr/share/man/man8/NIS.8.gz tar: ./usr/share/man/man8/NIS.8.gz: Cannot hard link to `./usr/share/man/man8/yp.8.gz': (null) ./usr/share/man/man8/rc.serial.8.gz ./usr/share/man/man8/rc.shutdown.8.gz ./usr/share/man/man8/nis.8.gz tar: ./usr/share/man/man8/nis.8.gz: Cannot hard link to `./usr/share/man/man8/yp.8.gz': (null) Hopefully I will get to a point of productivity soon.
