[Elecraft] New Linux user - USB questions

[Joel Black]

Bill,

Look up creating "sym links" for Linux. That's short for symbolic links 
and is basically a shortcut for a Linux (or OS X) machine. I run OS X 
and the directory structure is a tad different so I'm not quite sure how 
to do it on Linux.

73,
