Looks like we need to define some terms here. Everything below /usr (stand, bin, sbin) are what is required for an admin trying to get the system back up and running with /usr.. In other words, these are the files that are needed to _boot_ the system.
Then on /usr you have the minimum files needed, by judgement of the OS vendor, to have a complete install of the OS. Anything installed onto this minimal configuration goes into /usr/local. The "base system" _is_ the minimal install. Does this clarify things? -Dan On Sat, Feb 12, 2000 at 09:22:07PM +1100, Hamish Moffatt wrote: > I personally think Debian's arrangement is the only sensible one. > The distinction /usr versus /usr/local on BSD is IMHO rather artificial; > they're all vendor supplied, just that one is the base system and > the other is not. > > > cheers > Hamish > -- > Hamish Moffatt VK3SB.
