last dumb question - symlinking between hard drives
Okay - I want files to write to the drive that is SLAVE to my system startup disk. I want to be able to drop the files into what my user directory calls Movies, and have them write to the other disk, but let me read the file by clicking movies...
Okay... which drive do I put the symlink on, which drive do I keep the folder on?
Dual 2GHz G5 RevC, 1.5GB RAM, 23 inch Apple Cinema Display, Logitech z680 5.1 Surround, Logitech Click! wired optical mouse
eMac 800MHz G4, 256MB RAM
Go off to sleep in the sunshine, I don't want to see the day when it's dying...
Mac OS 10.4 puts the GRR in Tiger, baby, yea!

Folder goes where you want the files actually stored. Symlink goes where the computer will be looking for files and where you want to make it think they are
