the links for libraries are the same as the ones for directories. a symbolic link is obtained by invoking 'ln -s ...'.
A dynamic library could be called 'libxyz.so' for instance, but it would be a symbolic link to libxyz.so.1.4 which is the actual library. When a newer version of the library is installed (libxyz.so.1.5 for instance) the symbolic link gets moved to the newer library. That way the old library is still available and a simple change of link can undo an upgrade. This is much better than actually replacing the old library with the new one and then finding out the new one is buggy. Now for symbolic linking of directories it could go as follows: music folder = /music disk 1 is mounted on /mnt/disk1 disk 2 is mounted on /mnt/disk2 then it's just a question of linking both to a directory in /music ln -s /mnt/disk1 /music/disk1 ln -s /mnt/disk2 /music/disk2 if you then do an 'ls -l' in /music you will see disk1 -> /mnt/disk1 disk2 -> /mnt/disk2 confirming your newly created links Hope this helps, Koen. -- koen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ koen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18505 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
