The FSSTND is now obsolete and has been renamed to FHS. See http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ for more details. Debian will be mostly moving to the FHS in potato except for a few exceptions due to some major code and policy changes that need to happen first. See the debian-policy archives for those discussions. You can also install the new policy manual package debian-policy from potato for the exact details. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
