Do you mean multiple entries in the same parent folder? I meant parallel structures, mirroring each other: e.g. having a real structure /boot/apps/editor/Editor /boot/apps/browser/Browser /boot/apps/installer/Installer and a localized structure where files are hardlinked: /boot/appski/editski/Editski -> /boot/apps/editor/Editor /boot/appski/browski/Browski -> /boot/apps/browser/Browser /boot/appski/installski/Installski -> /boot/apps/installer/Installer Apologies to all slavic(?) people :] Not ideal. Perhaps one set of problems traded for some other, but it could possibly shelter the user from inconsistency, letting the platform sort it out. /Jonas
