Hello Everyone:

This may not be the ideal forum to ask this question, so please do steer 
me somewhere else if necessary...

We're interested in using CRAMFS for the root filesystem on our embedded 
device.  Operationally, I think I understand how to do it.  But I am 
concerned about the fact that CRAMFS lacks current (.) and parent (..) 
directory information.  Does this mean that symbolic links that refer to 
"../foo" will not work?  If so, do people who are using CRAMFS have to 
construct their root filesystem in such a way that no "../" references 
are made?

Any other CRAMFS tips/gotchas would also be appreciated as we embark on 
this effort.

Thanks in advance,
craig vanderborgh
