SYS:C/MakeLink RAM:disk.info ENVARC:SYS/def_RAM.info SOFT

MakeLink command doesn't have SOFT option. (Edit: it does after the latest updates to 3.9, sorry)

Other more commonly used method is to copy the .info file instead of linking it:
Copy ENVARC:SYS/def_RAM.info RAM:disk.info

Why do you say so? This is plain wrong. You *require* the SOFT option to make a link from one device to another. Hard links are only possible within one device.

Hmm.. as far as I can see, there's only HARD option. At least on OS3.1, OS3.9, and on MorphOS. Where can you find MakeLink command with SOFT option?

If you try to use SOFT option with 3.1 and MorphOS versions, you get "wrong number of arguments". And with "MakeLink ?" you get "FROM/A,TO/A,HARD/S,FORCE/S:"

Edit: seems to come with some BoingBag update to 3.9... because 3.9 manual still doesn't mention about it either...
