Hi All

>From discussions I has at the last Dunedial meeting I thought links were
simple but I have found differrent.

I have a copy O\of O'Reilly Pocket Guide to Linux and a copy of Practical
Linux but neither appear to discuss what I would like to do.

Lets assume I have a file: testfile1
I can link test1 to a secton file called testfileln1 by
$ ln -s testfile1 testfileln1

well and good.

But what I would like to do is do this with with two directories say testdir1
and testdir2.

Lets let testdir1 contains files testfile1 and testfile2.
Now I would like to link testdir1 to testdir2 so that all files in testdir1
appear in testdir2. That is when I open testdir2 I see all the files in
testdir1.

I would appreciate someone explaining how one does that.

Thanks
Frank
