The FAT filesystem won't support symbolic links, although you can still make symlinks to files on a FAT fs from file systems that do support them. If you really want to do this you'd need to reformat it as something like ext2/3 or Reiserfs etc. I'm not sure why you'd want to know, as the link probably won't be meaningful when you plug the USB disc into a different machine. -- imalone
