Done that - good.
Now I get an error message that reads:
'error while linking'
An "Unknown error" while creating a link to "/home/myfolder"
would you like to continue?

I tried all three options but nothing further happened.
There was no CD activity at all, but there was hd1 activity for about
ten minuted before the error message appeared.

Anyone want to have a guess at this?
