You can have one of these, but not both. ls -l /home/phil will show what you got. The symbolic link is the way to do what Jen suggested. Making a directory doesn't do it. (Of course you could mount the partition there rather than on /mnt/shared ... that would work). Anyway, to create a directory inside a user's home/user/ tree you should be the user to do it. That way the directory will automatically belong to the user, not root. |

| 426004 | 2006-03-01 07:13:00 | Hi Guys, I'm back. Been messing with my linux install for a couple of days but with no improvement. Life would be soooo much easier talking to you guys if I could get my internet connection going. I wouldn't need to re-boot to Windows all the time and back again. I still can not see the top 70 Gig of my Linux HDD. This seems to be one wopping big swap file instead of my dedicated linux data area ! Any idears ? Cheers, Phil ps I can see the 8.4 Gig shared hdd ok |
