I do really install much, and almost all into /usr/local. And it's still not crowded, so that I can even remove the whole /usr/local/lib after major upgrades without trouble. And if I really want to remove one package "make uninstall" is the natural way to do it. (Don't know if fgfs supports that.) Iff I wanted to keep things separated, I'd rather go for /opt/FlightGear/, but I know that not everybody likes this target. I agree, /usr/local/FlightGear isn't wrong. Just a bad choice (IMHO :-). m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
