Hi Branan Riley,

Good question.

man ln seems the answer, on OpenBSD.

I confused (konqueror lied me) soft and hard linked files, (which I 
ignored the existence till today, nor I understand yet why those hard 
links are useful).

# cd /usr/ports/packages/i386/cdrom
# ls -i kde-i18n-nl-3.5.9.tgz
890218 kde-i18n-nl-3.5.9.tgz
# cd /usr/ports/packages/i386/all
# ls -i kde-i18n-nl-3.5.9.tgz
890218 kde-i18n-nl-3.5.9.tgz
#

As both have the same inode # 890218, so they are the same file, not 
twice space used on my hard drive.

It should be easy to implement in Konqueror, if not already present.

Which one is the good real one? Don't know yet

But I neeeeeed Konqueror tells me.
