The basic idea is that you want to create a link to the new directory in the place that the old directory was. For example, you might do something like this: mv shop/even/more/images . ln -s ../../../images shop/even/more Sorry but I still don't get it Your mv line will move everything in shop/even/more/images into where (to root I guess) Then your ls line will list what? And how is that going to link stuff? Gruessle -- http://VMCLinks.com http://GuyScope.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
