I think it just means you don't need it to be an FHS-compliant system, like, say, /usr/bin. Other such cases are /home, /root, and /bin/gzip (none of which, I hope, are deprecated). > I'm surprised putting games in /usr/games would still be considered > a good idea. While I don't have any use for separating games from other executables, I can imagine situations where it might be desirable (e.g. school computer labs where /usr is mounted from a central server, but only certain people or certain systems are "gaming-allowed"). -- Joe Wreschnig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
