Maybe I'm missing something, but this sounds like a job for alternatives from the start to me rather than creating symlinks in /usr/bin. Unfortunately, using alternatives requires that cdrtoaster uses alternatives too, but then the result is much more maintainable and predictable for the user. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
