This is more a question of proper "configure" scripts than FHS compliancy. For example, on OpenBSD, all "extras" are put in /usr/local (by default, that is, you can put them wherever you want; the ports/packages system can handle funky hierarchies, for the most part) which I don't think is in the FHS. Moreover, the large number of ports seems to suggest that FHS compliancy is not important. (And yes, a lot of the ports are of "Linux" apps.) Speaking of hierarchies, does any GNU/Linux distro have a hierarchy manpage? What's it normally called? On OpenBSD it's hier(7). I would quote it, but it's rather long, so I'll just give the URL: htttp://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hier > 6. above all, the distro's installer should actually work. it shouldn't > forget important things like apt-utils (for debian) Heh heh heh, see my earlier post.
