hi doug, to make a link across different filesystems do ln -s <your-windows-dir> <linux-dir-pointing-to-that> after that you have a new dir that points to the windows directory...... -s as option says to make a soft link, this is needed because tthe are on different partitions without -s you can make a hardlink, but only on the same partition. this can be used as a trick if you have important files.... just make a hardlink to them.... if you the delete the original file it will still be there and can reached by the hardlink. hand hardlink use veerrryy litle diskspace....;) greets, chris On Freitag, 9.

I tried to post this the other nite, but never saw it, so I'll send it again:
I think I remember seeing (quite a while ago, and probably on some other list) how one could set up a link to the TT fonts on a Windows partition, rather than copying them over to the Linux partition. If that's possible, what should the link look like and what directory should it be in, if it matters. (I know what links do, I just don't know how to work them.)
