User packages, for example SUNWcsu, install files under /usr. Root packages, like the corresponding SUNWcsr, install elsewhere. /var/ /etc /sbin /lib etc. Diskless client is one thing that relies on having the packages split this way. I think zones also takes advantage of this. oh and the longest filename in s10 seems to be SUNWgnome-img-editor-devel-share at 33 chars :) Cheers, ~Albert -- Albert White - Patch System Test - Sun Ireland albert.white at sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/albertw
