I mount things like /var and /home under /mnt/hda4/var and /mnt/hda4/home because my / partition on /dev/hda1 ran out of room. /opt would reside on my root partition, and there just wasn't enuf room for it. Thus, I need symbolic links in / to point to those other directories on different partitions. It never occurred to me that there was some other way of doing it. Joel
