I wrote the previous email with haste, so I could not explain my idea
completely and, with your doubts about it, I can explain it better.
I know that there are A LOT of scripts that will need to be CORRECTED.
I do not think that keep a loop symlink of USR->/ is a good idea,

Yes, of course. I just meant to say that those programs (scripts)
shouldn't necessarily be considered broken... even if they truly
are.
Thing is that they are broken, figuring out where the

Or you could frob bash's she-bang parsing.
Easier to frob exec. Then all shells that do hash-bangs will follow.
Make exec strip the leading directory, and then you have something
like `#!foo', w

Most of the shell, perl, python scripts do depend on a ha

I do agree that such a behavior could be considered broken, but if
most of the programs do that I believe that the support for them
should be provided.
And this is easy to do, provide /usr as a symbolic link to / if such
support is needed.
Cheers.

Hi all,
I am trying to checkout latest /gnumach from
cvs.savannah.gnu.org using the command "cvs -z3
-d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/hurd
co gnumach".
I am getting error "cvs [checkout aborted]: could not
chdir to gnumach/i386/aux: Invalid argument"
any ideas?

The problem I can see with this is compatability with hardcoded paths.
There is, for example, a lot of scripts out there that have their magic
set to /usr/bin/perl, or /bin/bash; You'd require customization of an a
lot of things if perl or bash were simply on the PATH and not where most
things expe

I have now built Ubuntu breezy and Debian unstable kernel package (686
flavour only) with that patch.
I only tested the Ubuntu breezy one, but getfattr/setfattr
Fixing hard coded filenames is easy. One can always provide a /usr
symbolic link. Infact, any program that depends on a hard coded file
name is seriously broken.
