Hi Daikon, /usr/lib is the wrong place to look, you should run the command "man hier" to see an overview of where things are stored in Linux.
But in this particular case the files you are looking for, which is your personal learning and configuration data for Mnemosyne will be stored in your home directory. So the following set of commands should work (not that # means a line is a comment) cd #this is just to get you in your home directory for sure rm -r .mnemosyne #careful, this will erase this computers learning and config data (including any flash cards you made) ln -s Dropbox/mnemosyne .mnemosyne #this will create a soft link that points from .mnemosyne in your home directory to Dropbox/mnemosyne which is where I assume you put you mnemosyne folder, adjust this if necessary Good luck, Jason On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 2:36 AM, daikon <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, I haven't posted before, so hi and thanks a lot to Mnemosyne > people for a really useful tool. > > I've used Mnemosyne for a little while, now I'm trying to synch up via > dropbox- sadly my unix/linux knowledge is v.basic. > > On my work computer, which is Mac OSX, I followed the instructions in > the earlier thread, so on that computer I have a softlink to Mnemosyne > in Dropbox.
