Is this possible? How do I make a link like this? I've noticed that I can't link directories. To me, I had to delete one of the directories (the empty one) and making the link made a new directory with the same name, but now as a link only. This during a cautiously test with fake directories. Is this the right thing to do? I do not want to screw up my FBSD system. Thomas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
