Can you expand on that? Is it that the docs can't be found if they are in /usr? By ri? Delivering tons of static files or docs under /var is certainly unorthodox. If there's any way to put the docs under /usr instead, that's better. If it truly is impossible, at least document why in the spec. For example it means that every zone would duplicate all this static documentation even though there is no need. -- Jyri J. Virkki - jyri.virkki at sun.com - Sun Microsystems
