[OLUG] Symbolic Link

[Chris Garrity]

	I just use static IP, Cox should've given you a form with all the
numbers you need.  Too many symbolic levels of symbolic links means that
you created a cycle within the filesystem, remove it.

	You could use linuxconf and specify the number manually (easy way).
