Looking about the filesystem, this seems to be normal, many other packages in /usr/doc have an "examples" folder containing samples. (m4 as one example) Also the kernel headers seem to be in there too, also not documentation. So, it seems that an "examples" folder is common, and the LinuxCNC configs are in "examples" -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
