I like putting things into /opt too, but there have been several comments about putting things into /usr/bin for other packages. For example, xorg (from /usr/X11R6), qt (from /opt), and kde (from /opt). Do we need to discuss the options and give users the choice? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
