ln -s target linkname
didnt you understand?

an initial script would do the following:
setup user-crypt-space in /home/user/
mount crypt
copy all databases and personal files and settings to crypt and replace original with symlink to crypt
adduser guest
create folderstructure and paste default setting files

maybe everytime a login script needs to fix the symlinks to point to the right target but thats also just a script to run


for your private pictures and stuff you would need to include your user-files My_Docs or have another setup for some folders,

with multi-user support I would repartition the 32GB anyway, to something like 1GB vfat for the guest user, 5GB for my private data (ext3, crypted) and the rest just vfat/ext...(even ext is mountable to windows with IFS drivers...)
