But as a generic question: is there a way to get the installer to put some top-level directories into subdirectories on a different volume so they share space but aren't part of the root volume? You can do each as a separate mount point, but sometimes I want the effect you get with symlinks - which involves some awkward juggling for system-installed directories that already have contents. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
