file transfer between mac drives

[B. Charles Reynolds]

I have /mnt/macos set up to automount at startup in my /etc/fstab. I 
placed a link to it in my /home/<user> directory. Works great. I even 
made a pretty icon for it when I'm working in KDE (despite slow draws 
in KDE, at least the wm doesn't crash like Gnome...)
