    Here is what I am seeing, sorry my previous reply was so sparse got
 busy and forgot to get back to it.

    anyways what happens is IF I compile a alpha/nightly image with the SDL
 librarys and I DD that image to a usb drive, the SDL librarys work fine.
 However if I install from the same USB stick to a real drive, it looses
 the symlinks or library links.

    I don't know if it is entirely related but I though it might be worth a
 mention becuase both problems seem to be similar in nature, data is being
 lost during instilation.

    My other question is why does the cache never seem to deplete/count
 down/unload ? IE if you use activity monitor and you select CACHE it may
 idle fine at 192mb, but when you do a disk copy,file copy,install the
 cache stays full at say 4000mb and never seems to depopulate. Also sync
 does not seem to help here. I suspect the issue might actually be in the
 file system code and that its not clearing the cache and ensuring that all
 data is transferred to a drive, this can be easily noted by trying to
 unmount a drive after a file copy. I have noticed this issue is not
 present on a live CD running a installer but ONLY when you install from
 the desktop. All problems are persistent and consistent in that behavior.

   I hope this bit of observation may help shed light on the subject.
