[olpc-community-support] USB Drive Limitations?

[Michael Stone]

Creating a hardlink or a symlink with the 'ln' command [1], e.g.

  ln a b      and 
  ln -s a b   

commands could also be a useful way of referring to the file while
saving space.

They won't be named anything recognizeable, but you should be able to tell them apart by the date, and you can type 'file <first few letters and then TAB>' to see what type of file it is.
