This problem arises with Gentoo, as well. What's going on seems to be that it is simply impossible for a distribution like Gentoo to follow the FHS strictly. The FHS assumes conditions that aren't satisfied by Gentoo. I've considered making a Gentoo ebuild for Unicon, but that's as far as I've gotten. It would go in /usr, however, if I did it. Because currently I have it installed without an ebuild, it is in /usr/local. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.chemoelectric.org "I have directed that in the future I sign each letter." -- Rumsfeld
