I've remastered Knoppix 3.4 just fine, replaced mozilla with firefox and installed bits of database software, but I'm having a small problem and I must be missing something obvious.

I'm chrooted into my remaster and have installed some software. The software is in /opt/foo and wants to set it's config files in /opt/foo/conf (which is read-only when we're on CD...and no I can't change where it puts it's conf files.) I want to make /opt/foo/conf a symlink to /home/knoppix/conf so I can change the settings at runtime and save them to a persistant flashdrive home, but for the life of me can't see how to do it. Even the venerable RTFM isn't helping...I suppose I could go dig around the scripts, but I'm hoping there's a simple answer.

Anyone?
