All the files of a single program lies in one > directory Each with its own copy of all its dependencies, including libc and all other libraries it calls and all the programs and daemons it uses such as dbus and hal. Sure. And then when there is a critical update to libc or some other widely-used thing you get to upgrade every package on your system, one at a time, as the maintainers get new packages ready. You have the fun of downloading each of those dependencies hundreds of times and finding space for them all. Why not give each package its own kernel while you are at it? -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
