If i was going to move /usr/local anyware, it would be to /opt/local. Moved as-is, just in a new location (for the reason that it keeps all non-distributor software under /opt/). Definitely not something I"m going to push for though, since it seems to be nothing more then a feel good change in my mind, and has huge compatibility failures. thanks, kk -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian contributor / gNewSense Maintainer http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group
