I might also add that the cell contents will now be very long. It's best to shorten descriptions in a table. For line 785, I think starting with "Similar to a shortocot for Windows" and make the sentence more concise from there as well. If you want to expand on it, use an annotation outside of the table. I think you can do this best, by keeping the bulk of what the author has for the soft link file, and then add a note after the table if you want to expound on the explanation.

Hard linked files cannot span partitions and file systems, and cannot be used on directories. |
