zero, i've been using FreeBSD 4.x for about 2 weeks...luv it, has nothing on windows, but no killer games. first, where if anyone doesn't mind me asking here...are the THEMES for enlightenment kept globally? second, where is the directory for APACHE kept ... so i can use host my web page third , is there any way i can use different cursors (like windows cursors) in enlightenment fourth: i know that say. ... [ ln -s /usr/whatever ] can be used to point to directories or files...and that [ ln /usr/whatever/file(s) ] has to be used specifically for files (right?)....so besides that (if i'm right)...whats the difference in Linking? does a HARD LINK mean that i have that file on my computer? instead of another users computer or area? i guess i mean copying (cp ).....but that would be redundant. i know SOFT links redirect to the area or file...and if i [ cd .. ] from it , say as an FTP thing, someone could end up in my root directory. so my theory is that if i make a hard link to a file...then basically, i still save space because the file is only like what...a couple of kilobytes, versus the real file? bottom line...can someone fess up whats the best? also...is the JaxLUG meeting tomorrow at the FragLan area? hodge podge To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
