I can't answer the why question. AFAICR, we took the script from RedHat and they probably had it that way. It probably should be in /usr/bin. There is a more serious issue than wget. It's right in the first line of make-cert.pl: #!/usr/bin/perl To me, it doesn't make any difference. If /usr/bin is mounted, then either /bin or /usr/bin will work. I don't see these scripts being used without /usr mounted. > Also, the installation is not conducive to performing a DESTDIR installation. > I modified the installation (including the scripts) to work with a complete > DESTDIR installation. Would this be worth putting into the book? I don't think so. The code is right there to see. It's only three scripts and they need to be in the PATH to run with the instructions given. What benefit would DESTDIR give? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
