Ah...that might explain why I don't get the 'ls -o' ability. Didn't realize Debian just copied it in, and never bothered to install it. :) >Also, it is a *bad* idea to execute mv's and ln's on files that have been >installed with dselect and/or dpkg.

I was wondering why there was a /usr/bin and a /usr/local/bin. :) Thanks. This really explains a lot. I've been using OS/2 and DOS for long enough, that I've gotten used to just being able to install my programs wherever I saw fit. (Besides, it makes it easy to confuse the hell out of anyone that tries to read my directory structures...it's organized for me, but everyone else gets lost. :))
