The real answer is for me to reformat my drive and start over ;-) Actually I wanted to remove the link from file2 to file3. So file1 > File2 and File3 stands alone.
Did you ever find an answer to that question? There are too many people whining about "how to best answer the question" for me to tell, and I didn't follow the list until the end of the day today... If 1 points to 2 and 2 points to 3, then "2" will have to be replaced with something other than the pointer to 3 in order for it to make any sense for 1 to still point to 2. Removing "2" (rm 2) would do what you're asking, but then you're left with a dangling symlink - "1" points to nothing. Eh, whatever. I just felt like I oughtta contribute to the thread, too. I hate being left out. :) --Danny
