Last week there was a post to i to i blog about: how to easily access content on the external memory. In internal memory, it involves adding a subdirectory containing just a manifest.xml such as:

<package>
  <symlink>/mnt/cf/books</symlink>
</package>

The subdirectory then shows up as a standard directory in the contentlister, which will take you to the CF card. If this is all you do, the link shows up in contentlister as "books", rather than "/mnt/cf/books", so this could be confusing if you had several external media types. The post suggests fixing this by adding a manifest.xml to your /mnt/cf/books directory, so that it shows up as "Books on CF card". I would rather have a technique for distinguishing between the symlink and the actual directory, but this does seem to be a viable method for setting up symlinks to directories - providing having them only work in the contentlister is ok.
