Creating a symlink on a FAT partition doesn't work of course, as it's an ext-only feature. But where exactly do you need this? /usr/ is on an ext2 partition, thus creating /usr/local as a symlink should be possible in all cases.

PS: I decided to let my lua.ipk install evrything in /mnt/free/_local/, with the intention to run be run from there (without symlinks in /usr/local). The install size is less than 1 MB, and my /mnt/free has 100MB free...
You're right, 1MB shouldn't harm anyone. Will have a look at Lua as soon as I have some time to. Is it as easy as Ruby, or even easier? (Now we're back on topic again )
