Regards, Garry alapo 04-05-2003, 05:21 PM You should just be able to delete it with an rm -rf link (I'm about 98% sure it wont delete the directory it is linked to, you probably should make sure I'm right before trying though :D ) ChickenSteak 04-05-2003, 05:29 PM yea just rm -rf it, and no it dosen't remove what it is linked to :).
