Actually, I have /sw as a symlink to /usr/local. Not quite the same, but similar. It has never given me problems. } Any other ways I could do it? Mess about with mountpoints by editing fstab? I have also had /Users as a symlink to /u (legacy from another system I was used to), which is a partition listed in /etc/fstab and mounted automatically at startup. To do the move (do all of this as root): 1. mv /sw /private 2. mkdir /sw 3. mount the other drive on /sw 4. cd /private/sw 5. pax -rw -p e . /sw I don't believe there are any resource forks in /sw. If there are, you will need to use hfspax (google for it). If you need help putting the right line in /etc/fstab, let me know. Incidentally, I recommend that all partitions (other than HFS+ for the root partition, but only under MacOS X rather than pure Darwin) be UFS-formatted. I have four partitions, three of which (including and especially my Users partition) are UFS. } TIA! } -- } Yoav Felberbaum --Greg _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
