Racke, thanks for the advice!  Thing is, I'm new to both Apache and Linux
and therefore have no idea what I should do here.  Do I make a Symlink AND
configure an alias in Apache, or just one or the other?

Also, I found this in the archives about symlinks:

##  telnet to

##  /local_path/catalogs/your_cat

##  and create a symlink by entering:

##  ln -s /local_path/html_directory/your_cat/images images

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
