Just to put in two cents from a lurker here, I recall a discussion way back of "levels" - LSB base 1 - minimum, non-graphical, bare-bones LSB base 2 - above + some additional, X libs LSB base 3 - above + X itself ... and so on.
Personally, I consider putting basic stuff in /usr, stuff I'm sharing across the net (exporting common directory) in /usr/share, and stuff on the local machine in /usr/local. No idea how this meets the FHS, but it works for me. jeff smith Keld Jørn Simonsen wrote: > > On Wed, Mar 15, 2000 at 10:08:51PM -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > Well, damn....not all ISVs need bash, either.
