You could add aliases to /usr/bin but I think it might be cleaner to keep GNU on non-GNU separated to avoid confusion. (Keeping symlinks from the current names in /usr/sfw to /usr/gnu is a good idea for backwards compatibility's sake though). As an aside, what would be done about manpages? There is no /usr/xpg4/man. The man for xpg4 commands are lumped together with the /usr/bin commands (e.g. man sh). Is someone going to take the time to do the same with GNU commands where there is a clash? Personally I'd like to see separate /usr/man, /usr/xpg4/man and /usr/gnu/man. Paul -- Paul Durrant -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
