Creating Symbolic Links to Files

[Smith-Rowland, Edward M]

The command you want is 'ln' (actually 'ln -s' does a real symbolic link)

Subject: Creating Symbolic Links to Files


Hi,
I am trying to create some symbolic links to files.
At the command line
the "symlinks" command is available but this is for directories.
"symlink  --version" returns "command not found".
 "In  --version" returns "command not found".
 "link  --version" returns "command not found".

I am running Yellowdog 2.3 internet/Lan server box as a test box.

I am trying to run the following command from the boot directory after
loading up a new kernel
In -s System.map-2.4.20-ben7 System.map
this returns "command not found".

Is there some rpm that I can install to give me access to the "In" and
"link"  commands from the command line.
Currently symlinks version 1.2 is loaded on the machine.

Sincerely,
Chris Carroll
