Hmmm, weird, when I click the link I get the right page immediately   :confused:  
As for your other question, I dont know ....
The newbie I was referring to was myself  ;)
I just looked up how a symlink was to be made and pasted the link.
But one of the regulars from thes forums is surely gonna be able to help you with this.

Master of Reality:
'man ln'

ln -s /what/you/want/link/from /where/you/want/link

ahri:
i made the link, that is not the problem. I want to run the program '/usr/java/jdk/bin/java' without typing out the whole path. I thought putting a symbolic link in /usr/bin would do it, but it didn't.

Master of Reality:
it should have worked.

ahri:
The first time i did it, it made a bad link. The link was 0 bytes in size and was not an executable. How strange. I deleted it and tryed again and it works now. Thank a lot for the help guys.

btw, i posted here cause i didn't want to open a new topic for what was supposed to be a simple question. I would delete these posts but i don't think i can do that. Other forums that use UBB alow deletion of posts.
