No, I don't think this is particularly helpful since, it seems, the FHS would only indicate that new directories be added if there is some reason to create a new directory. Then applying your answer would lead to a circular argument. I think the more useful answer is, "When there's no other reasonable place to put something." Of course, if you have a file/set of files that you want to store, it makes sense to try to put it in some existing directory. But if it doesn't really fit in any existing directory, or there's some other compelling reason that it should not be in any of the existing directories, it would be reasonable to think about making a new directory for the file(s). -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
