Suggestion 1: Take away the symbolic link and make people go to the subdirectory to see the top-level file. Suggestion 2: Or, make a lot of symbolic links. Suggestion 3: Or, make a subdirectory for the extra links, and make a link to the subdirectory from the top. Illustrating the last suggestion: As it is now: (going from memory) .../doc/tex-common/README.Debian.html -> html/README.Debian.html .../doc/tex-common/html/README.Debian.html .../doc/tex-common/html/ch1.html .../doc/tex-common/html/ch2.html README.Debian.html contains links like: ch1.html Suggested arrangement: .../doc/tex-common/README.Debian.html -> html/README.Debian.html .../doc/tex-common/more -> html/more .../doc/tex-common/html/README.Debian.html .../doc/tex-common/html/more/ch1.html .../doc/tex-common/html/more/ch2.html README.Debian.html contains links like: more/ch1.html HTH bjb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
