Probably should change something.

Instead of this:

% cp /var/mail/username /Users/username/username
% rm /var/mail/username
% ln /Users/username/username /var/mail/username

This instead:

% cp /var/mail/username /Users/username/Inbox
% rm /var/mail/username
% ln -s /Users/username/Inbox /var/mail/username

If you're keeping you mail folders in /Users/username/mail/, then just insert the mail subdirectory into those commands.

hi,

first: thanks for this great hint, it works like a champ here. took me a bit longer but I eventually got there. I applied the hint to a fully working system and after I restored my backup some of the apps wouldn't work anymore. I guess they had absolute paths somewhere in the configs...

anyways. one thing remains. purely cosmetic, but hey... how do I get the original icons back? the applications folder and the others that were changed now all use the same (but ugly) icon. any idea?

thanks,
sascha

I like the multiple mount points. Afterwards I tried to upgrade to
10.2.2 and it does not recognize any disks for installation.

Update (Tiger Update?)
Authored by: musickhead on Aug 30, '05 05:17:43AM
Hi, I don't know if this thread is still alive, but I've got a n00b question. Has anyone tested this on 10.4 Tiger? I am a little worried that I don't have an fstab file. Instead, I have an fstab.hd file, and it has a nasty little comment in it saying
IGNORE THIS FILE. This file does nothing, contains no useful data, and might go away in future releases. Do not depend on this file or its contents.
Should I edit my blank fstab.hd file, or should i create a new fstab? This is so I can make it NOT automount my second partition, which is reserved for OS Y (the name is a joke).

Also, I want to mount a sparseimage encrypted disk image, contained on another partition, to my home folder (and mine only!). Can this be done with fstab to an image, not a partition, and an encrypted image, at that?

Thanks!
Musickhead
