I have a 12gig drive as /home and was suggested i link data and such to that drive.
I am not quite sure I have a handle on how to do it.
I do know it confuses the hell out of me when I cd to one directory then when i go up a directory I am not even were I thought I was.

I want to d/l the ports collection. That goes to /usr/ports. That drive is 4 gigs. So I want to put in on the 12gigger with the /home slice.
do I do a 
ln -s /usr/ports /home/ports ?  

then when I cd to /usr/ports I really go to /home/ports ??

I'm so confusssseeeeedddddddd.
Okay getting a gripe.
thanks
MD
