    hey Paul

    sorry but your email is not really very clear about what exactly you are
    trying to do ...
    but this might help anyway ...

    do a 'll /dev/cdrom1' to see if this too is already a symbolic link

    if it is then this is what you want to link too. The 'ln' command syntax
    works the same as the 'cp' or 'mv' commands - ie. ln nameOfOriginalFile
    nameOfNewLinkedFile

    if you need more help - please explain your sitch a bit better and we
    will see where we can go from there ...
