Actually, I was refering more to the FHS release, not the LSB
standards.
FHS release 2.1 seems to be quite solid, and with the cooker
being "prerelease" by default, would be an excelent place to
begin implementation toward the standard.
FHS 2.2 is in public review, and as of yet, I don't see any
tremendous "make and break" changes between 2.1 and 2.2.
As for LSB complaince, I haven't checked up on their standards
releases, but last I checked they were way too remedial of
definitions to have anything to truely adhere to. This may
have changed...
But instituting /opt, and /media as well as the permition
strucures mentioned in the 2.1 specs sounds like a good start.
