My laptop doesn't run Windows (God forbid ) but Linux and the trouble with the missing link apparently comes from copying it from one box to another with scp. Somehow this version (either server or client side, not sure yet) automatically 'follows symbolic links' so it copies the directory the link is referring too.

Thanks for explaining this.

Quote:This VZ does have tar, but not gunzip as standard. So either pack it with just tar or use the zip function inside tar, so making it a tgz file. Or of course I can install gunzip within the VZ container..

The MinimServer download archive is packed with tar zcf. It can be unpacked with tar xf, as stated in the installation instructions.
