Talking about FreeBSD it should be mentioned that /usr/local is similar to /opt on lunix systems. Nothing else but third party software, mostly ports, get installed there and many people do use at least a seperate partition (FreeBSD terms) or slice (partition in DOS speak) or another hardrive to store it. -- Marc Santhoff <[email protected]> -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
