Martin, Your solution works great! I just used a link in the Who.php file. I'll try the latter later.

I certainly want Moodle! It's just that I want to build on the simple method I have been doing and then move over to more Moodle use as an when I learn, and when it seems appropriate in terms of usability. I just need some time to spend on working out how to do the same things within moodle. I know how to set up courses in Moodle but that's not the best way to simply browse content outside a specific course context. I need to learn how to use Moodle to benefit from the content management whilst all the time thinking about reducing barriers for users. Many thanks and the Moodle is certainly very welcome - jsut need more time!

Do like this - create a subdir - /var/www/html/library - add a file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ that says "Alias /library /var/www/html/library" - restart apache from that point onwards, the content will appear in http://schoolserver/library - - an easy way to add the link so that it appears from moodle is to edit the header if the 'olpcxs' theme. (can't remember the exact path now, "rpm -ql moodle-xs | grep header" will tell you) OTOH, if you want to bypass moodle completely and have things the old way, move or delete /etc/httpd/conf.d/moodle and the XS will forget that moodle exists.
