[Solved] symbolic links disappear
Don't know, if it is a bug or a security-feature, but all my symbolic links in the xzm-modules get lost when the modules get installed to Kiosk when booting. The symbolic links are really in my xzm-modules, because they don't get lost when I extract the modules in my porteus-desktop environment. Is there a way to keep symbolic links or do I have to duplicate the needed files?

Re: symbolic links disappear
If you inspect 001-core.xzm you will see that there are symlinks which do not disappear when kiosk is booted.
Same rules apply to every module.
Please mind that content of /usr/local/bin is deleted when booting is finished as this folder contains potentially dangerous utils like dd or wget.

Re: [Solved] symbolic links disappear
Thank you and shame on me - the problem was that my links pointed to absolute paths in my porteus-desktop environment. After deleting the paths in my symbolic links they appeared in kiosk.
