I'm sorry I may just be being dense, but I don't fully understand this.
Making the sym link would seem to imply I was _in_ the linux environment,
which I'm not because I am struggling to install it. If you mean drop out
of the installer, the Cmd-F2 has never worked for me. I tried to make a
mac alias and call it RedHat, but I still got the mount failed, device
doesn't exist message when I tried to find it.
