FAT32 does not support either symbolic links or hard links, and trying
to create them will get an error (EPERM, I think -- Operation Not
Permitted).

Hi

Just a thought...

If I had Un-Tarred all the source codes into a FAT32 drive mounted on a
Linux folder AND then proceeded to run the "./configure" script in the
same folder...will the script run into problems??

Basically...can I create Symbolic or Hard Link in a FAT32 drive mounted
on a Linux Folder?
