Subject: help with /opt and sym linking
Hi,
I recently tried to install star office for linux and was told I did not =
have enough space on my /opt partition. I know I can use a symbolic link =
to get round this I am unsure of the syntax.=20
The book Running Linux 2nd edition describes symbolic links on page 91
ln /opt /usr/opt
this would mean when I cd /opt it actually goes to /usr/opt
is this correct?
I am using Red hat 6.1=20
thank you for any advice.=20
