Does this make sense? Does anyone have a quick

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.

Matt,

Interesting idea you are proposing, however, remember
that the SPOT and lppsource are both exported via NFS,
I am not sure a symbolic or hard link will work ....

would it ?? you bet I'm testing it.

regards,
Enrique.
