I am going to be running more than a few copies of WOW on my iMac simultaneously....


What I want to do is....

Create a directory for each copy that has its own wow executable and certain folders. I figure I will create one such setup and ditto it 3 more times. However I do not want to duplicate the "fixed" data - essentially the graphics and such. So I will want to symbolic link the /data and /interface directories to each of the copies.

I know what I want to do, but do I make these symbolic links into my copy directories? Can I make one copied directory and then clone it 3 more times or do I need to make symbolic links in each copy ?

Unless you use something like rsync to create the links for you you'll have to create them yourself anywhere you want them.
