[Help] How to make a symbolic link?

iQQ · 02-09-2010, 09:46 AM

Hi, there,

I am just wondering how make a symbolic link.

I would make a symbolic link of /usr/java/lib/ directory to /mnt/us, how can I do it?

Many thanks in advance!

see:

Code:

man ln

Code:

ln -s TARGET LINKNAME

Hi all,

I reopen this thread because I'm not able to create any symlink in my Kindle directories.
More in detail: I recently installed Duokan 2014 and I'm very happy with it and I would like to build the same classification (folder tree) I had in my Kindle OS without actually moving the files (because of bookmarks and annotations I want to maintain at least when booting in Kindle OS).
That's why I thought about creating the correct directories in DK_Documents putting the symbolic links of all my existing books there (together with the new ones from now on).
I tried both to use KDE service menu and to ln -s through my home Linux PC via USB, but I always get a Permission error (although I can create the new folders in the same way...).
What's wrong?
Any idea about how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

The userstore is vfat (FAT32), so, nope, symlinks aren't supported.

Ok, thanks anyway...
