I would liek to have a folder in my dock that is an alias to "/".
Not to my hardrive or my home directory...but to the actual root directory.
is this possible?
its obviously embedded in the toolbar somehow...
This would be nice so that i can see when drives are mounted...and access them..etc
Thanks,
M2
P.S. been experimenting but can't seem to do it.

/ IS your hard drive. Do "cd / && open ." in a terminal -- see, you get the root of your hard drive. If you want to see where drives are mounted, that's not at /, it is at /Volumes.

ahh of course...
I am sorry I got confused there....
That makes sense... /Volumes.
But the thing is...that when I do that i can't see my main drive mounted...
But I suppose i can just make an alias of my drive in that folder...
Yep worked nicely.
thanks.

That's because your main drive is mounted at /, not in /Volumes.
