OK,I need some very basic help here.


On my KDE desktop there is an icon of a hard disk called E and it has a
green triangle next to it.This is the partition I want to save to.
If I hover the mouse over it it tells me amongst other things Device
/dev/hda5

Mount point /windows/E

Now are you saying I have to create a shortcut to it in my home directory?
Do I have to create it from a consol?

Yes, a lot of Linux configuration is done via the console, especially small, personalised, things like this.


As an ordinary user:
$ ln -s /windows/E ./data
(there's a space in there after the E, be careful.)
It's much more than a shortcut.

OK I tried that and got this,
Mike@xxxxx:~> $ ln -s /windows/E ./data
bash: $: command not found
Mike@xxxxx:~>
