OK James you piqued my intellectual stupidity switch. I"m going to try
this idea (however hare-brained I think it is :), and let the list know
I guess.  Caveat: if i come screaming back here to the list with no hair
left its all YOUR fault ;p

Question:  The drive all the info is on is a FAT32 30GB partition of a
60GB drive.  You said i should dump all teh files into a directory
(/var/www/html) yet I know they won't fit in here because my Linux
partition is only 10GB total. So...is there a way to point apache or
something to that drives directory & tell it to serve files from where
they are now?  That is:  My mp3 directory is on /hdb1/mp3.  Will apache
be able to find/point to<?> that directory & just show users to that
directory when they login?  Let them d/l their files, logoff.  As I
cannot put all those mp3's on my linux partition thats the best idea I
have. 

Any help? :)
