Cheap hack for Linux

+

On a Linux machine, it will not be necessary once you have everything set-up correctly, but +a useful initial short-cut is to create 'mimic' symbolic links to directories to match those on the +server and the expo laptop. +(You should not rely on these as other people will have set up their machines differently.) +So, assuming that your machine has +no user expo:

cd /home
+sudo mkdir expo
+cd expo
+sudo ln -s /mnt/f/expofiles expofiles
+sudo ln -s /mnt/d/CUCC-Expo/expoweb expoweb
+sudo ln -s /mnt/d/CUCC-Expo/troggle troggle
+sudo ln -s /mnt/d/CUCC-Expo/loser loser
+ls -tlA
+
+where obviously you will be using your own locations for expofiles, expoweb, loser etc. instead of /mnt/d/CUCC... etc. This creates valid directory paths for, e.g. /home/expo/loser etc. +
