/home

[Gerard Snitselaar]

The proper use of ln -s is to first list the target you are
linking to, and then the name of the link. So the following
would be correct for creating the link /home:

ln -s /mnt/hda4 /home

NAME
       ln - make links between files

SYNOPSIS
       ln [OPTION]... TARGET [LINK_NAME]
       ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY
       ln [OPTION]... --target-directory=DIRECTORY TARGET...
