There are two things I think should be done first.  

	1)  Mention this document in the install notes to give new people and
	    idea of what to do.

    2)  Make an mvdir available so that those of us who had to guess where
	    to put what when installing over the weekend can remedy the
		situation ;-)

In previous mail, Damiano Bolla said something like:

I will answer.  Yes.  It is valid, and I have done it on my system, and
expect the ABC Release of Linux .95a to have symlinks as well.

BTW:  Is anyone interested in contributing to the new release, or am I going
to have to get all the GNU stuff and do it myself?   PLEASE HELP ME OUT!
We want Linux to be as easy as ABC, right?  So-far I have recompiled bison,
gawk, and am working on the gnu fileutils (what was the resolution of the
missing ftruncate() call, anyway?)
