The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

To make this absolutely clear, I just inserted an old InfoMagic CD and did  
a dir (DOS box under OS/2, but OS/2 doesn't understand Rockridge either).

This is the result:

On the other hand, on that CD, symbolic links (like /usr/bin/zcat) showed  
as zero-length DOS files. I hadn't thought about that one before.

Do both, I think - make DOS show good names, _and_ convert all links to  
hard links for the CD.
