Trying to answer both yours and Chris' questions at once. I like large packages installed in their own neat little place. This is how *I* like it. It has always worked well for me. Whether X ends up in /usr/X11R2007 or /opt/x11 or /whereeverthehelliputit is not important. To me, it is easiest on my systems to isolate large packages. I will vote that way if BLFS has a vote, but I won't dwell on it. I can always do it the way I want. Being shitty here, I suppose: I notice that there has been a bug in BLFS for years about the Qt installation method of going into /usr. One thing or another. Tush has the bug assigned to him now. This bug has been open for, as I said, years. However, Qt installs just perfectly using the /opt/qt method. Why the hell would anyone bother in trying to put it in /usr? If it was so easy to fix, Tushar would have fixed it years ago. Years! Come on, there must be something to this.
