User Variables in Linux

Postby FrozenInferno on Sun Jan 31, 2010 3:58 am

So I decided to dual-boot Win7 and Linux Mint because I was bored. But I made the EXT4 partition a little too small, and I would like to redirect my Documents/Music/Etc to my Win7 partition. I have my NTFS filesystem set to automount every boot up to /media/win7.

So basically, I want my /home/brian/Documents and other profile specific folders on my Linux partition to open to my /media/win7/Users/Brian/Documents folders on my Win7 partition when I click on them, if that is possible. I appreciate any and all help.

EDIT: Figured it out. Simple ln command.
Code: Select all
ln -s /path/to/real/file/or/folder /path/where/you/want/the/link
