I was thinking about this recently after doing some from-source installations of the 1.x Apache software. It was actually better for me that Mandrake chose to use their own hierarchy because otherwise my install would have been more difficult. Since software creators have some creative and unusual choices for their installation directories, it seems better for my sanity that they enforce their directory structure. Is it LSB compliant? Dunno, but it seems close. -- The Digital Hermit Unix and Linux Solutions http://www.digitalhermit.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
