i'm not sure (I don't use KDE), but an easy way to check is to create one and then open a terminal and run:
ls -l ~/Desktop A symlink will show up as a oddly-coloured filename with a -> symbol showing the original file it points to. You create a symlink in the terminal with: ln -s original linked-file-name for example: ln -s ~/test.txt ~/Desktop/test.txt That would create a symlink on my desktop to a "test.txt" in my home directory. I'm doing this blind, on Windows at work, so I may have some of the syntax wrong. -Eamonn On 3/5/07, alan c <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am in the foothills of links. > In KDE, say, on the desktop, a right click produces a context menu > which includes > > Create new: > link to location (URL) > link to application > link to device > > Are any of these a symlink? > -- > alan cocks > Kubuntu user#10391 > > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/ > -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
