The scripts do a fairly good job in abstracting the paths, actually. But unfortunately, this cannot be done at runtime, because many programs hardcode their own paths when they are compiled. So, if you were to do a full rebuild of the system (not a particularly fun task), you'd be able to change, for example, /Programs to /Logiciels, but that would just replace one hardcoded path with another, and as a side effect your system would be binary-incompatible with GoboLinux packages. -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
