Neil -- no problem. Let's say you want to make your youtube video directory on your external SD card (/media/mmc1): mkdir /media/mmc1/youtube this will create the directory. Now, we'll move the already collected files in your canola youtube directory there: mv /home/users/.canola/youtube/videos/* /media/mmc1/youtube/ that'll put everything you've collected so far into the new directory. Now that the directory is empty, you can remove it: rmdir /home/users/.canola/youtube/videos/ now, just create the link: ln -s /home/users/.canola/youtube/videos/ /media/mmc1/youtube/ when you next start up canola, it'll find all the stuff you've previously saved there, in the new directory.
