Is there a solution or workaround to this? I am not really sure, but to 
make a symlink to a .php file could not be a big security issue, or?

If I am converting the symlinks to hardlinks:
- for which files? (I think a lot, or? is there a list?)
- what is with the updates later to other version?

Ok, this I have to check - it seems, that I cound not run ImageMagick 
etc. with this server...

I have not really space problems, but I though and read that the symlink 
method is "THE" method for linux systems - special if you update your 
typo3 installation... in the beginning with my own page a made a mistake 
in the installation (I choose the windows/zip version) and now I have 
problems to update to the next typo3 version (backup etc. does not 
really work)...

Greetings and thanks... :-)
