I don't have any experience with MacOS X and only a very small amount with Darwin, but it's probably similar to other Unixes. Every partition you want to use will have to be mounted somewhere, but once it's mounted somewhere you should be able to make a symbolic link anywhere else. What I mean is that you can mount a partition with a directory usr on /mnt/part, and have /usr be a symbolic link to /mnt/part/usr (the names don't have to be the same, but I usually do it that way). If you're going to dedicate the whole partition to /usr, I'd just mount the partition directly there. -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
