You obviously can't symlink to music:/exports or anything... But you can do: mkdir /mystuff mount -t nfs music:/exports /mystuff ln -s /mystuff /media/whatever/the/path/is And magically /media/whatever/the/path/is would be your remote music store. No clue if Touch supports nfs or not... or smb client. That would work on a typical linux box, though. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72566 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
