(At least) two ways:

	* For a single symbolic link, use "ln -si filename
          linkname".  You can leave off the -i option if you're
          confident you didn't screw up argument order.

	* For making a symbolic link-based copy of an entire
          directory tree, use "cp -rs dirname linkdirname".  My
          version of GNU cp seems to work properly for this only
          if "dirname" is an absolute directory name (i.e.,
          begins with `/').

	  (Actually you can use "cp -s" for linking single files
	  too.)
