Thanks, Robert. I'm one that thinks the KDE instructions should individualize the /etc/ dirs to a version-specific directory. I think that every installation should have an independent file structure. GNOME is that way now. Currently KDE uses /etc/kde which would be overwritten/added/whatever by new/more current versions. My belief is that every version should have its own specific directory. It's taken a long time, but we're almost there! Yes, there's merit in having an /opt/kde-1.1.1/etc dir which cannot ever be overwritten by another version. But it isn't the way things have evolved. I've *always* looked in /etc/ for configuration files, and I felt it to be awkward to have /opt/kde.xxx/etc files. At least they are in /etc/kde now, where they belong. As we go forward, I'm hoping that we can get to /etc/kde/x.x.x dir for config stuff. Totally version independent. If someone wants to duplicate information she already has, then great, copy it to the new /etc/ directory. Just my thoughts. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 21:43:00 up 22 days, 12:31, 1 user, load average: 0.17, 0.26, 0.24 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
