These can be hard or soft:

link c:ls c:list

	Now your aliaes work in execute scripts.

link sys:system/preferences c:preferences

	Now you don't have to put sys:system in your path.

These have to be soft:

link devs:system-configuration workbench:devs/system-configuration

	Now you don't to copy system-configuration back to df0:
	when you have a hard disk that doesn't autoboot.

link :Disk.info rad:Disk.info

	Now all your disk icons look the same.
