There are standards for where things go, hence why there is no single install directory: some things are perl modules (which generally go with Perl), configs go in /etc, and logs go in /var/log... The directory you must likely want is /usr/share/slimserver. It should be where the Plugins go. Unix doesn't need "extensions" like .pl to determine something is in perl. The "#!/usr/bin/perl" on the first line handles that. "dpkg -L slimserver" will list where all the files that make up the slimserver package are. You will see what I mean about no single install directory. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37259 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
