Noticed 'symlink' button on emelfm. How does that work?

- you highlight the file you want to link in one pane of emelFM, you set the other pane to the directory where you want the symlink and then click on the button.

In the case of oo, you probably want to link the oouser directory to /home/dsl? In this case you would move the directory/files from wherever they are (eg /opt/oo/oouser) to /home/dsl and then symlink the directory - something like this:

Code Sample

$ sudo mv -r /opt/oo/oouser /home/dsl
$ sudo ln -s /home/dsl/oouser /opt/oo

It works just like copy, except if you check check the properties of the resulting file, you'll notice it's a link to the original file vs a copy of it.

Thanks juanito and jpeters.

Tried symlink both from emelfm and from aterm.

OO still gives the same errors ie.,
error saving document
file:///ramdisk/opt/openoffice/user/basic/standard/script.xlb/:general error
general input/output errof.
repeats above with script.xlc.

Noticed it moved oouser and user.tar.gz to ramdisk/home/dsl.
