Why would you want to do this? The whole point of having /usr/local is to
keep what you add to your system seperate from the main distribution. This
is at least Debian's implementation of what /usr/local should
represent. Is there a specific reason that you would want to prefer
/usr/local over /usr
Compiling Pine on a debian system doesn't work out of the box in my

I'm sorry. I guess this has all been discussed before. Don't mean to bring
it up again. I was just thinking about it, that's all. :P

have the name of the list appear in the subject automatically? For

IIRC in all the kernels I've compiled from 2.2.x and on you could always
select ext2fs support or not. This makes sense as linux is just a kernel
and should not be dependent on any particular file system, especially now
with the advent of more robust filesystems (eg: ReiserFS, ext3).
