Re: resetting xemacs' idea of home directory

There must be some aspect of your situation that I'm missing. Do you have a common (NFS-mounted) home directory on machines 1 and 2? My home directory at work is littered with symlinks pointing at random partitions on various NFS servers; it works fine. Granted, I use /net/<server> syntax, and I'm not sure how well the Linux automounter supports that.

I don't understand. Even if you can't use /net/... as the target for the symlink, having a ~/thesis symlink at worst means the symlink is only valid on a particular host. It doesn't keep you from accessing anything else on machine 2. mike _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
